sisältävat

Sisältävat is a Finnish word that translates to "containing" or "including" in English. It is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb "sisältää," which means "to contain," "to include," or "to comprise." This grammatical form is used when referring to multiple subjects that possess or hold something.

For example, if one were to say "Nämä laatikot sisältävät kirjoja" (These boxes contain books), "sisältävät" is used because the subject is "laatikot" (boxes), which is plural. The verb agrees with the plural subject.

The word is commonly used in various contexts, from everyday conversation to technical documents. It can refer to physical contents, such as a package containing items, or abstract inclusions, like a plan that includes specific steps.

Understanding the conjugation of Finnish verbs is crucial for using "sisältävat" correctly. It is essential to match the verb form to the number and person of the subject. In this case, "sisältävat" specifically denotes a plural subject performing the action of containing or including.
