korjasi

Korjasi is a Finnish verbal form, specifically the third-person singular past tense of the verb korjata, which means to repair or fix. In English, korjasi is typically rendered as “he repaired” or “she repaired.” It is used to describe a completed action carried out by a single subject in the past.

In sentences, korjasi appears with a subject in the third person singular. Examples include: Hän korjasi rikkinäisen lelun. (He repaired the broken toy.) Hän korjasi autonsa tänä aamuna. (She repaired her car this morning.) These uses show how the form conveys both the action and its completion without needing an explicit auxiliary verb.

Korjasi is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical entry. It is one of several past tense forms in Finnish, formed by inflecting the verb korjata to agree with a subject. Finnish verbs are highly inflected, and korjasi is just one of many possible past-tense endings that indicate person and number.

Etymologically, korjasi derives from the infinitive korjata, with a past-tense suffix that signals third-person singular subject. The form is common in narrative prose, journalism, and spoken Finnish when recounting past repair actions. While korjasi is the standard past tense form, Finnish also uses other tenses and mood markers to express related meanings, such as ongoing past actions or reported statements.
