myydä

Myydä is a Finnish verb meaning "to sell." It denotes the act of transferring ownership of an item or service in exchange for money or other consideration. It is a transitive verb that typically takes a direct object describing what is being sold and can be used with different grammatical cases depending on aspect and definiteness.

In present tense the forms are: minä myyn, sinä myyt, hän myy, me myymme, te myytte, he myyvät. In the imperfect (past) tense: minä myin, sinä myit, hän myi, me myimme, te myitte, he myivät. The present passive is formed as myydään, meaning "is sold" or "is being sold," and the past passive as myytiin, meaning "was sold." The perfect tense is built with olla plus the past active participle: olen myynyt, olet myynyt, hän on myynyt, etc. A common past participle used for adjectives is myynyt or myyty, with myyty as the past passive participle (e.g., Auto on myyty, “The car has been sold.”).

Related nouns include myynti, meaning "sale" or "selling," and myyjä, meaning "seller" or "salesperson." The verb is frequently used in everyday commerce and contracts, and it supports various compound forms and constructions typical of Finnish verbs.

Examples: Minä myyn vanhan television. Hän myy asuntonsa. Auto myytiin halvalla. Tämän auton myynti oli nopea. The car has been sold can be expressed as Auto on myyty, illustrating the passive and perfect aspect in context.
