pidennät

Pidennät is a Finnish word that translates to "you lengthen" or "you extend" in English. It is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb "pidentää," which means to lengthen, extend, prolong, or stretch.

The word "pidennät" is used in various contexts. For example, one might say "Sinä pidennät lankaa" which means "You are lengthening the thread." It can also be used in a more abstract sense, such as "Pidennätkö keskustelua?" meaning "Are you extending the conversation?" The grammatical form indicates that the action of lengthening or extending is being performed by "you" (singular).

The verb "pidentää" itself is derived from the adjective "pitkä," meaning long. The suffix "-ntää" is a common way to form causative verbs in Finnish, indicating that someone or something is causing something else to become longer. Therefore, "pidentää" literally means to cause to be long.
