tarjoan

Tarjoan is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Finnish verb tarjota, meaning "to offer." It is used when the speaker indicates that they are offering something to someone. In Finnish, the verb is conjugated for person and number, and the subject pronoun minä is often omitted, so phrases like Tarjoan kahvia appear without an explicit subject.

Grammatical context and forms: Tarjoa is the dictionary form of the verb, a member of the -ota verb class. Other present-tense forms include tarjoat (you offer), tarjoaa (he/she/it offers), tarjoamme (we offer), tarjoatte (you all offer), and tarjoavat (they offer). The negative form is en tarjoa (I do not offer). The imperfect past tense includes tarjosin (I offered) and tarjosi (he/she offered), among other forms depending on person and number.

Usage: Tarjoan is commonly used in hospitality, service, and general statements about offering items, help, or opportunities. Example: "Tarjoan teille kahvia" means "I offer you coffee." The phrase can be extended to various offerings, such as assistance, information, or products, and functions both in everyday speech and in more formal or transactional contexts.
