suunnittelette

Suunnittelette is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Finnish verb suunnitella, meaning you (plural) plan or you are planning. It is used to describe actions carried out by a group in the present tense, often with the subject implied as “te” (you, plural) in Finnish.

Morphology and spelling: The form is built from the stem suunnitte- of suunnitella, with the 2nd-person plural present suffix. In written Finnish it appears as suunnittelette (often written as te suunnittelette in a sentence). The form contains double consonants, notably nn and tt, which is typical for Finnish inflection.

Usage notes: This form is common in both straightforward statements and questions. It can appear in main clauses and subordinate clauses. Examples: Te suunnittelette projektia ensi kuulle. How do you plan the project timeline? Suunnitteletteko tämän tapahtuman aikataulun? The subject is frequently omitted in Finnish, so the verb form alone can signal the plural “you.”

Related forms: Other personal forms of suunnitella include suunnittelen (I plan), suunnittelet (you plan, singular), suunnittelee (he/she plans), suunnittelemme (we plan), suunnittelette (you plan, plural), and suunnittelevat (they plan). The past participle is suunniteltu (planned), and related nominal forms include suunnittelija (planner, designer).

Summary: Suunnittelette is a key present-tense 2nd-person plural form used to indicate that a group is planning something, a common construction in everyday Finnish.
