The present tense form is palkitsen, and the past tense form is palkitsin. Other common forms include palkitsit (you rewarded), palkitsi (he/she rewarded), and palkitsimme (we rewarded).

Etymology and related terms: palkita is derived from palkka, meaning wage or pay. Related nouns include palkinto (prize or award) and palkkio (remuneration or reward). The verb belongs to the Finnish class of -ita verbs formed from a noun with a suffix to indicate an action related to the noun.
