saavuttiko

Saavuttiko is a Finnish verb form used to ask whether someone or something has reached a goal or milestone in the past. It is derived from the verb saavuttaa, meaning to reach or to achieve. The form combines the past tense stem saavutti- with the question particle -ko/-kö. The -ko/-kö suffix is a general Finnish interrogative particle appended to a clause to create a yes–no question; its form follows vowel harmony, with -ko being common after many stems and -kö used in contexts requiring a front-rounded or high vowel before it.

Usage and structure

Saavuttiko is used to pose questions about whether a past achievement or distance was reached. The subject can be explicit or understood from context, and the form changes with person and number by incorporating the appropriate verb ending, for example:

- Saavuttiko hän tavoitteen? (Did he reach the goal?)

- Saavuttiko me tavoitteemme? (Did we reach our goal?)

- Saavuttivatko he projektin tavoitteet? (Did they reach the project’s goals?)

Etymology and related forms

Saavuttiko is part of the conjugation of saavuttaa. Other related forms include saavutin, saavutti, saavuttaneet, and saavuttaminen, reflecting different tenses, persons, and moods. The interrogative suffix -ko/-kö can attach to many verb forms to form questions, and its exact spelling adapts to the preceding vowel through Finnish vowel harmony.

Notes

This form does not constitute a separate lexical entry; it is a grammatical variant used to inquire about past achievement. In everyday speech, the subordinate context or accompanying pronouns often clarify who or what is being asked about.
