laskee

Laskee is the third-person singular present tense form of the Finnish verb laskea. The core meaning is to count or calculate, but the verb has several related senses used in everyday language.

In addition to counting, laskea covers meanings such as to lower or reduce a value (for example, hinta laskee meaning the price goes down), to set something down or lay it down (laskea kirjat pöydälle), and to describe the sun or the tide descending (aurinko laskee, meaning the sun sets). The sense can also imply delivering a calculation or estimate in a broader mathematical or evaluative context.

Common related nouns include lasku, which can mean a bill or an invoice as well as a calculation, and laskenta, which refers to calculation or computing. The verb and its derivatives appear across many domains, including mathematics, economics, weather and nature descriptions, and everyday tasks.

Examples: Hän laskee pisteet. (He counts the points.) Hinta laskee. (The price is going down.) Aurinko laskee illalla. (The sun sets in the evening.) Hän laskee kirjat pöydälle. (She puts the books down on the table.)

Laskee is a versatile, widely used Finnish verb, with multiple senses that can be distinguished by context and accompanying words.
