sijoitatko

Sijoitatko is a Finnish verb form that means “Are you investing?” or “Do you invest?” It is the second-person singular present indicative of the verb sijoittaa, meaning to invest, combined with the question particle -ko. Finnish forms questions by adding this particle to the verb, so the basic present form sijoitat becomes sijoitatko in its interrogative form.

The form can also appear in the plural or formal address as sijoitatteko, which corresponds to “Are you investing?” when speaking to more than one person or in a polite context. The surrounding sentence structure remains simple present tense, with sijoittaa’s root and the appropriate personal ending guiding the meaning.

Usage and context: Sijoitatko is common in everyday Finnish when asking someone about their investment behavior or decisions. It is frequently used in conversations about personal finance, savings, or retirement planning. It can also appear in headlines or marketing copy that aim to engage readers with a direct question about their investment habits, though such usage should be mindful of tone and audience.

Examples:

- Sijoitatko rahaa pörssiin tänä vuonna? (Are you investing money in the stock market this year?)

- Sijoitatteko jo eläkesäästöön? (Are you investing in a pension fund?)

Related terms include sijoittaa (to invest) and sijoittaminen (investing). The form exemplifies Finnish question construction through the -ko/-kö particle attached to a verb.
