varastatte

Varastatte is a Finnish verb form meaning you (plural) steal. It is the second person plural present indicative of the verb varastaa, which means to steal or to take something without permission. The infinitive form is varastaa, and the present tense forms for all persons are usually taught as: minä varastan, sinä varastat, hän varastaa, me varastamme, te varastatte, he varastavat.

In use, varastatte appears in sentences where multiple people are the subject and the action is happening in the present or as a habitual action. For example, Te varastatte tämän korun would translate to “You (all) steal this necklace.” Finnish often allows the subject to be omitted when it is clear from context, but varastatte explicitly identifies the second-person plural subject.

Negation of varastatte follows Finnish negative construction, typically using ei with the appropriate subject form, for instance: te ette varastatte means “you (plural) do not steal.” The verb is active and finite, and it commonly appears in everyday language, crime reports, or moral discussions where theft is being described or debated.

Related forms include varastaminen (the act of stealing) and varastaa’s other conjugations for different persons and tenses. The word is part of standard Finnish vocabulary and is not restricted to any specialized register.
