Märkata is a Finnish verb that translates to "to notice" or "to observe" in English. It is used to describe the action of becoming aware of something, either through the senses or through thought. The verb is commonly used in everyday conversation and writing to express the idea of taking note of something, whether it is a change in one's surroundings, a new fact, or a subtle detail.

The basic form of märkata is "märkatä," and it can be conjugated to fit various tenses and subjects. For example, in the present tense, it is "märkään" for the first person singular ("I notice") and "märkät" for the third person singular ("he/she/it notices"). In the past tense, it is "märkasin" for the first person singular ("I noticed") and "märkäsi" for the third person singular ("he/she/it noticed").
