tasaavat

Tasaavat is a Finnish verb form meaning "they balance" or "they equalize." It is a present tense form used with plural subjects and is derived from the root tasa- meaning to balance or equalize. In use, tasaavat describes actions by a group or multiple actors to reduce differences, distribute resources more evenly, or align measurements to a common standard.

The form appears across domains such as economics, public policy, and engineering, where actors seek to lessen disparities or irregularities. Examples include sentences like "Yritykset tasaavat kustannuseroja" (The companies balance cost differentials) or "Sähköverkon säätimet tasaavat jännitteitä" (The grid regulators balance voltages). In legal or formal contexts, it can appear as part of descriptions of measures that aim to equalize outcomes, though exact phrasing depends on jurisdiction and style.

In Finnish grammar, tasaavat is related to other forms and words from the same semantic field, such as tasaus (balancing/equalization), tasapainottaa (to balance), and tasavertaistaa (to level equally). It is not a noun or proper noun, but a standard verb form usable in a wide range of registers, from everyday speech to technical and administrative prose.
