ymmärrämme

Ymmärrämme is the first person plural present indicative form of the Finnish verb ymmärtää, meaning "to understand." It is used to state that the speakers collectively understand something or a situation.

In Finnish conjugation, ymmärrämme is formed from the verb stem ymmärrä- with the personal ending -mme, indicating the subject “me” (we). The form agrees with the subject in number and person and is commonly used in both spoken and written Finnish to express comprehension, acknowledgment, or agreement with a statement or situation.

Usage notes: Ymmärrämme can introduce a clause that explains understanding of another’s point, a rationale, or a reaction to new information. It can appear in direct statements, responses, and formal communications. The tone is neutral and can range from plain acknowledgment to more formal reassurance, depending on context and accompanying language.

Examples:

- Ymmärrämme, mitä tarkoitat. (We understand what you mean.)

- Me ymmärrämme tilanteen vakavuuden. (We understand the seriousness of the situation.)

- Ymmärrämme, että tämä on teille tärkeää. (We understand that this is important to you.)
