käsittelemme

Käsittelemme is the present tense, first-person plural form of the Finnish verb käsitellä, meaning to handle, deal with, process, or treat. It expresses that the group including the speaker is performing the action, and can refer to handling issues, information, tasks, or topics. The form is common in both everyday speech and more formal writing.

In use, käsittelemme signals collective action by the speaker's group. Finnish normally marks the object with the partitive case in ongoing or indefinite actions, so typical sentences include examples such as Me käsittelemme tätä asiaa (We are dealing with this matter) and Me käsittelemme asioita (We are handling matters). The present tense can also convey near-future intention, as in Seuraavaksi käsittelemme hakemukset (We will/are going to process the applications next). The exact object form varies with nuance and syntactic context, which is a characteristic feature of Finnish grammar.

Käsittelemme belongs to a family of terms built around handling and processing. The corresponding infinitive is käsitellä, and the noun form for the act is käsittely, meaning handling or processing. Related phrases often appear in administrative, legal, or technical texts when describing procedures, workflows, or methodical review by a group.
