kurkistamme

Kurkistamme is a Finnish verb form in the present tense, first-person plural of kurkistaa, meaning to peek, glance, or look briefly. As a form, it expresses that “we” are performing a quick look, often with the sense of inviting readers or listeners to get a brief look at something.

In practical use, kurkistamme is common in written Finnish, especially in journalism, blogs, and online media, where it functions as a lead-in to a short preview or behind-the-scenes look. It can introduce a segment such as a preview of upcoming content or a glimpse into a topic, for example: Kurkistamme kulissien taakse meaning “We take a peek behind the scenes.”

Grammatical notes: kurkistaa has kurkist- as its stem, and -amme marks the subject as “we.” The related forms include kurkistan (you peek), kurkistaa (to peek, infinitive), kurkistimme (we peeked), and kurkista (imperative, you peek). The form kurkistamme is therefore a standard present-tense, first-person plural usage and is not a noun or title in itself.

See also: kurkistaa, kurkistus. These terms cover the general action of peeking and the act of a brief glimpse, respectively, and are commonly found together in discussions of Finnish language usage and stylistic expressions in media.
