ylläpitävätko

ylläpitävätkö is a Finnish word. It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb ylläpitää, which translates to "maintain," "uphold," or "support" in English. The suffix "-vätkö" indicates that the verb is in the interrogative mood, forming a question. Therefore, "ylläpitävätkö" directly translates to "do they maintain?" or "are they upholding?" in English.

The word is used in sentences to inquire about the actions of a group of people or entities in relation to sustaining or keeping something in existence, good condition, or at a certain level. For example, one might ask "Ylläpitävätkö he vanhoja perinteitä?" which means "Do they uphold old traditions?". Similarly, in a more technical context, it could be used to ask about the upkeep of infrastructure, such as "Ylläpitävätkö ne rakennusta?" translating to "Do they maintain the building?". The context in which "ylläpitävätkö" is used determines the precise meaning of "maintain" being referred to. It encompasses a broad range of actions from preserving physical objects to upholding abstract concepts like relationships or standards.
