suostumme

Suostumme is the first-person plural present tense form of the Finnish verb suostua, meaning to consent or agree to a proposal, request, or plan. It signals willingness to accept or comply with something and is commonly used to express collective assent in speeches, negotiations, or written declarations. The form is typically followed by an accompanying clause or phrase, for example: Me suostumme siihen (We consent to it) or Me suostumme tekemään tämän (We agree to do this).

The related noun suostumus denotes consent or agreement, as in Osapuolet antoivat suostumuksensa (The parties gave their consent). Other related forms include suostuva, meaning willing or consenting, and suostuttelu, meaning persuasion. The opposite concept is kieltäytyä (to refuse) or ei suostu (does not agree). In practice, suostua takes complements such as to-do with illative cases or subordinate clauses: Me suostumme siihen, että pidämme kokouksen huomenna (We agree that we will hold the meeting tomorrow).

Conjugation in the present tense is: minä suostun, sinä suostut, hän suostuu, me suostumme, te suostutte, he suostuvat. The past tense forms are minun suostuin, sinä suostuit, hän suostui, me suostuimme, te suostuitte, he suostuivat. The imperative forms are suostu (singular) and suostukaa (plural). Usage tends to be neutral and formal, suitable for agreements, contracts, and formal dialogue, while in everyday speech people may use synonyms such as myöntyä or antaa myöntymyksen in more contextual nuance.
