tehostatte

Tehostatte is the second-person plural present tense form of the Finnish verb tehostaa, which means to increase effectiveness, boost, or strengthen. In Finnish, tehostatte is used when addressing multiple people who are performing the action of making something more effective.

Usage of tehostatte commonly occurs in workplace, administrative, or policy contexts where a group is being directed to improve performance or outcomes.

Grammar and usage notes: Finnish verbs are conjugated for person and number; tehostatte marks the second-person plural subject. It is a finite verb form and does not function as a noun. Like other verb forms, it is not capitalized unless it appears at the start of a sentence. The form can appear in declarative sentences, instructions, or directives where addressing a group.

Related forms include tehostan, tehostat, tehostaa, tehostamme, and tehostavat, which cover the other persons and tenses of the same verb root. Tehostaa, the infinitive, carries the core meaning of making something more effective, while tehostatte specifies the addressee as a plural “you.” Overall, tehostatte is a common morphological form in Finnish for coordinated group actions aimed at increasing efficiency.
