yhdistätte

Yhdistätte is a Finnish verb form meaning you (plural) unite or merge. It is the second-person plural present form of the verb yhdistää, which means to unite, combine, or connect. In Finnish, the subject is often implied by the verb ending, so yhdistätte explicitly identifies the addressees as the ones performing the action.

The form is transitive and commonly used when two or more things are being brought together or merged. Examples: Te yhdistätte kolme pienyritystä suuraksi kokonaisuudeksi. Tämä hanke yhdistää alueen koulutuksen ja terveydenhuollon palvelut. In both cases the action is carried out by the addressed group.

Finnish also offers related forms: yhdistetään expresses the passive “is/are being united,” yhdistää in its infinitive, and yhdistäminen or yhdistämistä are nominal forms such as “merging” or “the act of uniting.” The term yhdistys refers to an organization or association, a related but distinct word built from the same root meaning to unite.

Usage notes: yhdistätte is appropriate in direct address to multiple people, for example in instructions, negotiations, or reports addressing a team. It contrasts with yksikkö, such as yhdistän (I unite) or yhdistät (you unite, singular). Understanding the form helps identify the subject and number in Finnish sentences, where the verb endings carry significant information about person and plurality.
