valmistut

Valmistut is a Finnish verb form used to express that the subject is becoming prepared or ready. It is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb valmistua, meaning to become prepared, ready, or to graduate in certain contexts. The form highlights a process rather than a completed state.

Etymology and related forms: The verb valmistua comes from the root valmi- meaning ready, with the infinitive ending -utua. The present tense conjugation follows the standard Finnish pattern, yielding minä valmistun, sinä valmistut, hän valmistuu, me valmistumme, te valmistutte, he valmistuvat. The lemma valmistua is used in its intransitive sense, while related verbs include valmistaa (to prepare something) and valmistautua (to prepare oneself for a specific purpose or event).

Usage: Valmistut is commonly used when talking about personal readiness for a task, event, or transition. It can describe becoming prepared over time or in anticipation of something. In many contexts, especially when the emphasis is on preparation for an upcoming activity, speakers may instead use valmistautua, which explicitly conveys preparing oneself for a future event. Valmistua can also occur in contexts referring to graduation or completion of training, where the nuance shifts to finishing a phase rather than merely preparing.

Examples: Sinä valmistut koitokseen seuraavan kuukauden aikana. Hän valmistuu kesällä ammattiin. Me valmistumme uuteen tehtävään, kun projekti etenee.
