lahjoitit

Lahjoitit is a Finnish verb form meaning “you donated” or “you have donated.” It is the second person singular past tense of the verb lahjoittaa, which means to donate or to gift. The infinitive is lahjoittaa, and the related forms cover all persons and numbers (lahjoitin, lahjoitat, lahjoitti, lahjoitimme, lahjoititte, lahjoittivat).

Grammatical notes: Lahjoitit is a finite verb in the indicative mood, expressing a completed action in the past directed at the second person singular. In Finnish, the verb form agrees with the subject rather than the object, and it is commonly used with objects in the partitive or accusative case depending on the sentence structure and what is being donated (for example, rahaa “money” in the partitive).

Usage and context: The form is used when speaking to someone directly, to indicate that the person you are addressing performed a donation previously. It frequently appears in narratives, reports, or conversations about charitable acts or gifts. The word itself is not a noun and does not denote a place or person; it is a verb form.

Related terms: The noun form related to the action is lahjoitus, meaning “donation” or “contribution.” The passive participle is lahjoitettu, meaning “donated” in a passive sense, and other forms exist for different persons and numbers.

Example: Lahjoitit rahaa hyväntekeväisyyteen viime kuussa. (You donated money to charity last month.) This illustrates the straightforward use of lahjoitit to describe a past donation performed by the listener.
