äänestääkö

"äänestääkö" is a Finnish word that functions as a question about voting. It is formed by combining the verb "äänestää" (to vote) with the interrogative particle "-kö". This particle is attached to the first word of a sentence to indicate that the sentence is a question. Therefore, "äänestääkö" directly translates to "does one vote?" or "will one vote?" depending on the context.

The usage of "äänestääkö" is common in everyday Finnish conversation when inquiring about someone's intention or decision to participate in an election or a poll. For example, "Meneekö hän äänestämäänkö?" would mean "Is he going to vote?". The word can also be used in a more general sense to ask if a particular action or decision involves voting. The specific tense and context often clarify whether the question refers to past, present, or future voting. The particle "-kö" is a ubiquitous feature of Finnish grammar used to form yes/no questions, making "äänestääkö" a clear and direct way to ask about voting.
