sekoittaisisit

Sekoittaisisit is a Finnish verb form meaning “you would mix,” and it is the second-person singular conditional mood of the verb sekoittaa, which means “to mix” or “to stir.” The form is used to express hypothetical actions, wishes, or polite requests in informal singular address.

Formation and grammar: The conditional mood in Finnish is formed with the stem plus the conditional suffix -isi- and the personal ending. For the second person singular, the ending is -sit, giving sekoittaisisit. The base stem comes from sekoittaa, and the full form preserves the double i typical of this conjugation. The pronunciation centers on the extended syllable of the suffix, with a smooth transition from the stem to the -isit ending.

Usage: Sekoittaisisit is commonly used in conditional clauses or when making a polite suggestion or request without using a question particle. For direct requests, speakers often add -ko to form sekoittaisisitko, as in “Would you mix…?” In written language, the conditional can also appear in hypothetical statements without a request particle.

Examples: “Jos sekoittaisisit kahvin joukkoon hieman sokeria, juomasta tulisi tasaisempi.” “Sekoittaisisitko tämän seoksen ennen tarjoilua?” These illustrate a hypothetical action and a polite request directed at a singular person.

Related forms: Other persons in the conditional include sekoittaisin (1st person), sekoittaisi (3rd person), sekoittaisimme (we), sekoittaisitte (you all), and sekoittaisivat (they). The infinitive is sekoittaa.
