Grammatically, muodosta is the singular second-person imperative (you form!). The corresponding plural or polite form is muodostaakaa. The verb muodosta originates from muoto, meaning form or shape, combined with the verbal suffix -staa, a common way to create verbs meaning “to act in a certain way with the root noun.”

Common uses include forming sentences, plans, teams, or structures. In educational or organizational contexts, muodosta is frequently used to guide tasks such as sentence-building, project design, or group formation. For example: Muodosta lause annetuista sanoista. Muodosta uusi suunnitelma. Muodostakaa työryhmä.
