lähettelevät

lähettelevät is a Finnish verb form. It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb "lähetellä." The verb "lähetellä" is a frequentative or iterative form of "lähettää," meaning "to send." Therefore, "lähettelevät" translates to "they are sending" or "they keep sending" in English. The suffix "-vät" is the standard ending for the third-person plural in the Finnish present tense. This form implies a repeated or ongoing action of sending, rather than a single, completed act. For example, "Lapset lähettelevät kirjeitä mummolalle" would mean "The children are sending letters to their grandparents' house" or "The children keep sending letters to their grandparents' house." The nuance between a continuous present action and a habitual or repeated action often depends on the context in which the verb is used. It is a common and grammatically essential form for describing plural subjects performing an action of sending over time or on multiple occasions.
