näitkö

Näitkö is a Finnish word that translates to "Did you see?" in English. It is the past tense, second-person singular form of the verb "nähdä," which means "to see." The word is commonly used in everyday conversation when asking someone if they witnessed an event or observed something. For example, if someone missed a particular moment in a performance, one might ask "Näitkö sen?" meaning "Did you see it?".

The grammatical structure of "näitkö" is formed by combining the past tense stem of the verb "nähdä" (näit-) with the interrogative particle "-kö". This particle is attached to the verb to form a question. The word's usage is straightforward and is a fundamental part of Finnish interrogative sentences related to visual perception. It is also used in broader contexts beyond literal sight, such as asking if someone was aware of or noticed something. Understanding "näitkö" is essential for basic comprehension of Finnish questions.
