tallennatte

Tallennatte is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Finnish verb tallentaa, meaning to save, record, or store data. It is used when addressing two or more people who are performing the action of saving or recording. In standard Finnish the present tense is formed from the stem tallenn-, with the ending -atte for the second-person plural. Thus the present-tense paradigm includes minä tallennan, sinä tallennat, hän tallentaa, me tallennamme, te tallennatte, he tallentavat. The corresponding past tense form for the second person plural is tallensitte, used to indicate that you (plural) saved or recorded something at a previous time. The infinitive is tallentaa and the stem is tallenn-, which follows the regular patterns of Finnish -taa verbs.

Usage wise, tallennatte expresses a current, ongoing action by multiple people. It can refer to saving digital files, recording audio or video, or storing information in general. The form is common in both spoken and written Finnish when the subject is explicitly the plural you. In formal writing you might still include the subject pronoun te for emphasis: “Te tallennatte videon pilveen.” In everyday speech, the subject is often omitted: “Tallennatte videon pilveen.”

Related forms include tallennan (I save/record), tallennat (you save/record), tallentaminen (the act of saving/recording), and tallennus (the act or process of saving or storing). Tallentaa as a verb thus covers a range of data-preservation and archiving contexts in Finnish.
