tutkiskelee

Tutkiskelee is a Finnish verb form meaning to probe, investigate, or scrutinize, typically describing someone who is currently examining something in a careful or persistent way. The nuance often implies curiosity or a thorough or sometimes intrusive approach, and it is widely used in contexts such as journalism, research, or everyday discussion of inquiry.

Grammatically, tutkiskelee is the present tense, third-person singular form of the verb tutkiskella (to probe or investigate). It can be attached to a subject in a sentence to indicate ongoing action, for example: Hän tutkiskelee tilannetta tarkasti, meaning He is examining the situation closely.

Usage and nuance: tutkiskelee conveys active, ongoing inquiry rather than a single, completed action. It can carry a neutral tone, but in some contexts it suggests a deeper, investigative process or even nosiness, depending on intonation and accompanying words. The form is commonly used when describing investigative behavior in journalism, academic inquiry, or investigative discussion.

See also: tutkiskella, tutkija, tutkimus, tutkiminen. Related terms include tutkija (researcher) and tutkimus (investigation or research), which share the same lexical field of examination and inquiry. Examples in Finnish illustrate how tutkiskelee fits into broader expressions about examining evidence, background information, or situations.
