motivoivat

Motivoivat is a Finnish verb form derived from motivoida, meaning to motivate. It is the present tense, third person plural form, and it translates to "they motivate" in English. As a finite verb, motivoivat agrees with a plural subject and is used to describe actions that cause motivation among people, groups, or processes.

In Finnish, verbs inflect for person and number, so motivoivat appears only with plural subjects. The corresponding singular present form is motivoi (“he/she/it motivates”). The word can appear in ordinary declarative sentences as the main predicate, or as part of a larger clause describing what motivates someone or something, for example in phrases that mean "that motivate" or "which motivate" when expressed with explicit relative clauses.

Usage of motivoivat is common in discussions of work, education, sports, and psychology, where there is a focus on factors or actions that increase motivation. Because Finnish often relies on subordinate clauses to convey such ideas, motivoivat is frequently embedded in sentences that specify the actors and the motivating factors.

Origin-wise, motivoida is a regular Finnish verb formed with the common -oida suffix, itself a borrowing pathway from the language’s adaptation of the concept of motivation, influenced by Latin and English terms such as motive/motivate. Motivoivat, as a grammatical form, therefore serves a functional role within Finnish verb conjugation rather than representing a standalone semantic concept.
