suostui

Suostui is the third-person singular past tense form of the Finnish verb suostua, meaning to consent, to agree, or to yield to a request or proposal. The base verb suostua is used for accepting or agreeing to something, often after consideration or negotiation. The noun suostumus means consent or agreement.

In Finnish, suostua is a native verb with regular conjugation. The present tense forms include minä suostun, sinä suostut, hän suostuu, me suostumme, te suostutte, he suostuvat. The past tense forms include minä suostuin, sinä suostuit, hän suostui, me suostuimme, te suostuitte, he suostuivat. The past participle is suostunut, used in compound tenses and as an adjective meaning “having consented” or “consenting.”

Usage and nuances: suostua typically describes agreeing to a request, proposal, or condition. It can appear in sentences like “Hän suostui ehdotukseen” (He/She consented to the proposal) or “Hän suostui tekemään sen” (He/She agreed to do it). The term often carries a sense of willingness or acceptance, and it is somewhat less formal than synonyms like hyväksyä (to approve) or myöntyä (to assent, sometimes with an implication of yielding).

See also: suostumus (consent), hyväksyä (to approve), myöntyä (to assent). The word is commonly used in everyday Finnish as well as in legal and administrative contexts to indicate agreement or acceptance.
