käsittävätko

Käsittävätkö is a Finnish word that functions as a question form of the verb "käsittää," which means "to understand," "to comprehend," or "to grasp." When used in a sentence, "käsittävätkö" indicates that the speaker is asking whether someone or something understands or comprehends a particular matter. The ending "-vät" signifies the third-person plural, meaning it is asking about "they" or "those." Therefore, "käsittävätkö" translates to "do they understand?" or "do they comprehend?".

This question form is typically used when inquiring about the understanding of a group of people, a collective entity, or a generalized "they" in a given context. For instance, one might ask "Käsittävätkö opiskelijat uuden teorian?" which translates to "Do the students understand the new theory?". The word can also be used in a more abstract sense, such as asking if a system or a process can accommodate or grasp a certain input. The grammatical structure of Finnish often involves conjugating verbs to indicate person, number, and tense, and "käsittävätkö" is a specific conjugation that forms a question about the understanding of multiple individuals or entities.
