käsittelee

Käsittelee is a Finnish verb in the present tense, third person singular form of käsitellä. It translates roughly as “handles,” “deals with,” “processes,” or “treats” and is used for both physical handling and abstract processing. The core idea is to take responsibility for a thing or issue and perform the actions needed to manage it. In everyday Finnish, käsittelee can refer to handling objects, examining information, or addressing a topic in discussion, writing, or administration.

Grammatical notes: The infinitive is käsitellä; the noun form meaning the act of handling or processing is käsittely; the agent noun for a person or system that handles things is käsittelijä. Käsittelee agrees with a singular subject in the present indicative and takes a direct object, often in the partitive or accusative depending on quantity and context.

Usage examples: Finnish sentences include: Tietokone käsittelee suuria määriä dataa. (The computer processes large amounts of data.) Raportti käsittelee ilmastonmuutosta. (The report deals with climate change.) Järjestelmä käsittelee käyttäjien pyyntöjä. (The system handles users’ requests.)
