sekoitan

Sekoitan is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Finnish verb sekoittaa, meaning to mix, blend, or stir. The word is used to describe the act of combining ingredients, liquids, or components, such as in cooking or beverage preparation, or mixing different substances. In figurative use, sekoittaa can also mean to confuse or muddle information.

Etymology and grammar: Sekoitan is derived from sekoittaa; in Finnish, such verbs are conjugated for person and number. The infinitive form is sekoittaa, and the present tense third-person singular is also sekoittaa (as in “hän sekoittaa”). The first-person present form is sekoitan. This regular conjugation is typical for common Finnish verbs of this class.

Usage examples: "Minä sekoitan kahvin ja sokerin." (I mix coffee with sugar.) "Minä sekoitan keiton ainekset ennen tarjoilua." (I mix the ingredients of the soup before serving.) The verb covers both literal mixing in recipes and, in some contexts, a figurative sense of combining or muddling elements of a situation.
