laajensin

Laajensin is the first-person singular imperfect form of the Finnish verb laajentaa, meaning to expand, broaden, or widen. In Finnish, verbs are conjugated to indicate person and number, so laajensin shows that the speaker performed an expansion in the past. The infinitive is laajentaa; present tense forms include laajennan (I expand) and the past forms include laajensin (I expanded), laajensit (you expanded), laajensi (he/she expanded), laajensimme (we expanded), laajensitte (you all expanded), laajensivat (they expanded).

Etymology and form: laajentaa comes from laaja meaning “broad” plus the infix -nt- and the infinitive suffix -aa. The past tense form laajensin uses the -in ending for the first-person singular in Finnish imperfect.

Usage: laajensin is used to report that the speaker expanded something. It can refer to physical space, resources, or more abstract concepts such as a project’s scope. Example: Minä laajensin koulun tiloja, meaning “I expanded the school’s facilities.” The form is transitive and typically takes a direct object in the genitive or appropriate case depending on the construction.

Notes: Laajensin is a verb form tied to a specific person and tense, not a separate noun or proper name. It is related to other forms of laajentaa, such as laajennan (I expand) and laajensimme (we expanded).
