Questions & Answers about Todiste ja tosite ovat selvityksen mukana.

Why is the verb ovat and not on?

Because the subject is todiste ja tosite — two separate things joined by ja (and). In Finnish, that makes the subject grammatically plural, so the verb is plural too.

• on = is
• ovat = are

So even though each noun is singular by itself, together they require ovat.

Why are todiste and tosite singular, even though the verb is plural?

Because the sentence refers to one proof/evidence item and one voucher/receipt/document. Finnish does not automatically make the nouns plural just because there are two nouns joined by ja.

So the pattern is:

• todiste = one proof
• tosite = one voucher/document
• todiste ja tosite ovat = a proof and a voucher are

This is the same idea as in English: the book and the pen are here. Each noun is singular, but together they form a plural subject.

What is the difference between todiste and tosite?

They look very similar, but they are not the same word.

• todiste usually means proof, evidence, something that shows a claim is true
• tosite usually means a supporting document, receipt, voucher, or other document that verifies something, especially in administrative or accounting contexts

So a learner should not treat them as interchangeable, even though they are close in form.
