suorittatte

Suorittatte is a term that typically appears in discussions of Finnish grammar as a nonstandard or mistaken spelling of the second-person plural past tense form of the verb suorittaa, meaning to perform or to complete. The standard past tense form that corresponds to “you (plural) completed” is suorittitte, used with the pronoun te.

Morphology and usage: In Finnish, verbs are inflected for person and number in the past tense with forms that end in -itte for the second-person plural. Suorittitte (you completed) is the conventional spelling. The form suorittatte is generally regarded as incorrect in standard Finnish orthography, though it may occur as a typo or in informal writing. Because Finnish spelling follows regular suffix patterns, deviations like -tte instead of -itte are typically treated as errors rather than separate words with distinct meanings.

Examples: Correct usage – Te suorittitte projektin viime viikolla. This translates to “You completed the project last week.” Nonstandard spellings such as suorittatte may be encountered in drafts, typos, or nonstandard texts, but they do not represent a recognized variant in standard Finnish.

Relation to related terms: Suorittaa and suoritus form the core of the same lexical family, conveying the ideas of performing, carrying out, or completing a task. The topic intersects Finnish verb conjugation, phonology of consonant clusters, and orthographic conventions.
