käsittelit

Käsittelit is the second person singular past tense form of the Finnish verb käsitellä, meaning to handle, process, deal with, or treat. It indicates that the person addressed performed the action in the past. The verb käsitellä covers handling information or objects, processing tasks, or addressing issues and situations.

Grammatically, käsittelit is the indicative past tense, second person singular. Related forms include käsittelin (I handled), käsittelimme (we handled), käsittelitte (you all handled), and käsittelivät (they handled). The present tense form is käsittelet (you handle), and the past participle is käsitelty. The noun corresponding to the concept is käsittely (handling, processing).

Usage notes: The past tense implies a completed action at a point or period in the past. It is common in narratives, reports, or explanations of actions taken previously. Finnish distinguishes tense and aspect primarily through verb endings, so käsittelit conveys a definite completed act rather than ongoing processing.

Examples:

- Käsittelit asiakkaan valituksen nopeasti ja asianmukaisesti.

- Käsittelit annetut ohjeet ja toimitat vastauksen asiakkaille.

Etymology and related terms: käsittelit derives from the verb käsitellä, which in turn forms the noun käsittely (handling, processing). Related verbs include käsittelet (present you handle) and käsittelijä (handler, processor).
