lisään

Lisään is a Finnish verb form meaning "I add." It is the first-person singular present indicative form of the verb lisätä, which means "to add" or "to increase." In Finnish, the present tense is used for both present and future time, so lisään can translate as "I add" or "I am adding" depending on the context. Lisätä is a transitive verb that requires a direct object representing what is being added to something else.

Usage of lisään appears in everyday language, especially in cooking, where one might say "Minä lisään sokeria kahviin" (I add sugar to the coffee). The form is also common in other domains, such as mathematics or data editing, where numbers or items are added to a set or total. The form lisään is one of several present-tense forms of lisätä: lisäät (you add), lisää (he/she adds), lisäämme (we add), lisäätte (you add, plural), lisäävät (they add).

Etymology and grammar: lisätä derives from the noun lisä, meaning "an addition" or "an increment," and follows standard Finnish verb derivation patterns. The word is a regular example of Finnish verb conjugation in the present tense, illustrating how subject-person and number influence verb endings.
