lenné

Lennä is the imperative singular form of the Finnish verb lentää, meaning to fly. It is used to tell one person to fly or to move through the air, and it can be used in literal contexts as well as in figurative expressions that convey speed or ascent.

In Finnish, imperatives address the second person directly. The form lennä is derived from the infinitive lentää and is pronounced with a long consonant, commonly rendered as [ˈlenːæ]. The negative imperative is älä lennä, meaning don’t fly. For addressing more than one person, the corresponding plural imperative is lentäkää.

Examples of usage include Lennä nopeasti korkealle and Lennä yli järven, illustrating commands to move through the air in a literal sense. In poetic or rhetorical contexts, lennä can appear as part of imagery that evokes swiftness or elevation, though such uses depend on the surrounding language.

Etymology and form are tied to the Finnish verb system, with lennä representing a standard second-person singular imperative derived from lentää. As a verb form, it carries no independent lexical meaning beyond that imperative function, unlike a noun or proper name.
