myyvät

Myyvät is a Finnish verb form that functions as the third-person plural present indicative of the verb myydä, meaning to sell. In sentences it expresses that multiple subjects are selling or are engaged in selling in the present tense. The form is finite and agrees with the subject in person and number.

Formation and morphology: The present tense stem of myydä is myy-, and 3rd person plural is marked with the suffix -vät, yielding myyvät. Other present tense forms of the same verb are: myyn, myyt, myy, myymme, myytte. The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object describing what is being sold, e.g., kirjoja (books) or tuotteita (products).

Usage: Myyvät is used in declarative sentences, questions, and reported speech when referring to multiple sellers. Examples: Kauppiaat myyvät tuotteita päivittäin. (The shopkeepers sell products daily.) He myyvät sekä alennettuja että uusia tuotteita. (They sell both discounted and new products.) In narrative or descriptive text, myyvät can describe ongoing selling activity without specifying a subject beyond plurality.
