It is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb tähujarati, commonly understood as the verb meaning to unite or combine. The sense of the verb can be literal, as in corporate mergers or standard alignment, or figurative, such as coordinating efforts or harmonizing procedures.

Usage: The form appears in discussions of business consolidations, policy or standardization, and technical interoperability.
