käsittelitte

Käsittelitte is the second-person plural imperfect indicative active form of the Finnish verb käsitellä, meaning to handle, deal with, or process. The form translates to “you handled” or “you dealt with” in English and is used when addressing more than one person. In Finnish, the pronoun te is used for both plural and formal singular address, so käsittelitte can refer to a group of people or to a formal address of more than one person.

Grammatical notes: Käsitellä belongs to the class of Finnish verbs that form past tense with the -itte suffix in the second person plural. The corresponding present tense form is käsittelette, and other related past forms include käsittelimme (we handled) and käsittelivät (they handled). The root meaning remains constant across these forms: to handle, process, or deal with something.

Usage: Käsittelitte is used to describe past actions where the addressed group managed a task, issue, or matter. The object of the verb is the thing that was handled, and the context often relates to work, administration, or problem-solving. The tense does not inherently convey success or failure; it simply states that the handling occurred in the past.

Example sentences:

- Te käsittelitte tämän asian nopeasti ja ammattitaitoisesti.

- Kun te käsittelitte hakemuksen, pyysitte lisätietoja.

Related terms: käsittely (process, handling), käsittelijä (processor or handler). The form käsittelitte serves as a concrete indicator of past action by the addressed group and is a common feature in Finnish professional and formal discourse.
