siirtääkö

Siirtääkö is a Finnish interrogative verb form built from the verb siirtää. It is used to form yes–no questions about whether someone will perform the action of moving or transferring something, or about postponing something to a different time. The base meaning of siirtää includes both physical movement (to move an object from one place to another) and transfer or postponement (to transfer ownership or to delay an event).

The form siirtääkö is created by adding the question particle -kö to the present tense third-person singular form siirtää. In Finnish, the -kö/-ko suffix agrees with vowel harmony, and with siirtää (which ends in a front vowel ä) the correct variant is -kö, yielding siirtääkö. The phrase is typically used with an explicit subject (hän, he, etc.) or in contexts where the subject is implied.

Usage notes:

- Siirtääkö can ask about future or hypothetical actions, e.g., Siirtääkö hän tämän pöydän? (Will he move this table?)

- It can also inquire about postponement, e.g., Siirtääkö hän tapaamisen huomiselle? (Will he postpone the meeting to tomorrow?)

In translation, siirtääkö often corresponds to “will move/transfer,” “will relocate,” or “will postpone,” depending on the object of siirtää and the context. As with other yes–no questions in Finnish, the word order remains fairly flexible, and the subject can follow the question particle.
