unohda

Unohda is a Finnish term that functions primarily as an imperative verb form meaning "forget." It is the second-person singular imperative of the verb unohtaa, whose basic meaning is to forget. The form unohda is commonly used in casual speech to tell someone to forget something, as in phrases like "Unohda se" (forget that) or "Unohda koko juttu" (forget the whole thing).

In usage, unohda appears with a direct object that represents what should be forgotten. The corresponding plural imperative is unohtakaa, used when addressing more than one person. Finnish imperatives are often accompanied by other particles or pronouns to clarify scope or emphasis, and the negative form is built with eikä or with the phrase "Älä unohda" to mean "do not forget."

Grammatically, unohda derives from the infinitive unohtaa, which means "to forget." The imperative form is a direct command and is most appropriate in informal or familiar contexts. In more formal writing or when addressing a group, unohtakaa would be used.

As a common Finnish verb form, unohda does not function as a proper noun or name in standard usage. It is not known to denote a place, organization, or widely recognized entity in major reference sources. For most readers, unohda will be encountered as a straightforward command within everyday Finnish dialogue.
