ovatMennään

ovatMennään is a Finnish word that translates to "they go" or "they are going." It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb "mennä," which means "to go." The word is used to describe the action of multiple people or things moving from one place to another. For example, "Lapset ovat mennään kouluun" translates to "The children are going to school." Similarly, "Autot ovat mennään moottoritiellä" means "The cars are going on the highway." The construction "ovat mennään" is a compound tense, combining the auxiliary verb "olla" (to be) in its third-person plural form ("ovat") with the past participle of "mennä" ("mennyt"), which is then inflected to "mennään" in this context to agree with the plural subject. This grammatical structure is common in Finnish for expressing ongoing actions. The word itself is a fundamental part of everyday Finnish conversation and literature.
