otataan

Otataan is a Finnish word that functions as the first-person plural imperative form of the verb ottaa. The verb ottaa has a broad range of meanings in Finnish, including "to take," "to get," "to catch," "to have," and "to accept." Therefore, "otetaan" can be translated in various ways depending on the context, but it generally implies a collective action of taking, getting, catching, having, or accepting.

For example, in a situation where a group is deciding to pick up an object, someone might say "Otetaan tämä" which translates to "Let's take this." If a group is about to catch something, "Otetaan kiinni!" means "Let's catch!" or "Let's grab hold!" In a more abstract sense, if a group is agreeing to a proposal, "Otetaan se" could mean "Let's accept it" or "Let's have it." The precise nuance is always derived from the surrounding conversation or situation. The word "otetaan" is a common and versatile part of everyday Finnish speech, used frequently in informal and formal settings when a group is initiating or agreeing to an action.
