tutkkii

Tutkkii is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Finnish verb tutkita, meaning to investigate or examine. In sentences, it denotes that the subject is actively conducting an investigation or examination, for example Hän tutkii asiaa (He/She is examining the matter).

Origin and grammar: Tutkia belongs to Finnish verbs where the stem is combined with the -kii ending in the present tense for the third person singular. The form is the standard present-tense conjugation used in written and spoken Finnish. It is employed for both concrete tasks (scientific experiments, evaluating evidence) and more abstract inquiries (analyzing data, investigating claims).

Related forms: The noun tutkimus means investigation or research, and tutkija means investigator. The verb has other tenses such as tutkin (I investigate) and tutkivat (they investigate), as well as passive forms like tutkitaan (is investigated).

Usage notes: Finnish verbs do not change for gender, and tutkkii is the typical way to express ongoing examination by a single subject in the present. The word appears across journalism, academia, and law enforcement to describe ongoing examination. In headlines or concise statements, the form may be used succinctly to indicate an active probing or inquiry.
