kävelette

Kävelette is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Finnish verb kävellä, meaning to walk. It is used when addressing more than one person and translates to “you walk” or “you are walking” in English, depending on the context since the Finnish present tense covers both habitual and ongoing actions. The form is built from the verb stem kävel- plus the personal ending -tte, which marks the second-person plural.

In Finnish conjugation, the other persons of the present tense of kävellä are minä kävelen, sinä kävelet, hän kävelee, me kävelemme, te kävelette, he kävelevät. The imperative plural form is kävelkää, used to give a direct instruction to a group.

Usage notes: Kävelette is common in everyday speech and writing. Because Finnish verbs carry subject information, the subject pronoun te is often omitted, with the verb form itself signaling the plural second person. The present tense does not distinguish between “you are walking” and “you walk” in the way English does; both senses are conveyed by context.

Related forms include kävelee (he/she walks), kävelemme (we walk), and the related noun kävely meaning “walking.” Etymologically, kävellä means to walk, and kävelette derives from the stem form with the standard second-person plural ending.
