lisänneet

Lisänneet is the plural past participle form of the Finnish verb lisätä, meaning to add. In Finnish grammar, lisätä forms a past participle that is used with the auxiliary verb olla to build perfect tenses. The plural form lisänneet indicates that the action was performed by a plural subject, producing sentences such as “olemme lisänneet” or “ovat lisänneet.”

As with other past participles, lisänneet expresses a completed action. When used in the present perfect tense, it conveys that an adding action has taken place sometime before now and its relevance continues. The corresponding singular form of the past participle is lisännyt, used with singular subjects (for example, “on lisännyt” or “olen lisännyt”).

In practice, lisänneet appears in clauses referring to plural actors. For example: “Me olemme lisänneet budjettia” (We have increased the budget), “Ryhmät ovat lisänneet kustannuksia” (The groups have increased costs), or “Hän kertoi, että ryhmät ovat lisänneet turvallisuustoimenpiteitä” (He said that the groups have added security measures). The form can also appear in relative or conditional clauses where a plural subject performed the adding action.

Related forms include lisännyt (singular past participle) and lisätä (the infinitive). The suffix -neet signals plural agreement in the past participle, aligning with a plural subject and the perfect tense. Lisänneet thus functions as a key grammatical marker for completed, plural-added actions in Finnish.
