Questions & Answers about Taistelemme yhdessä.
What does taistelemme mean grammatically?
Taistelemme is the verb, and it is in the present tense, first person plural.
So it means:
- we fight
- we are fighting
In Finnish, one verb form can already include the subject, so taistelemme by itself already tells you that the subject is we.
What does the ending -mme mean?
The ending -mme is the personal ending for we.
So:
- taistelen = I fight
- taistelet = you fight
- taistelemme = we fight
This is why Finnish often does not need a separate subject pronoun like me for we.
How do you get taistelemme from the dictionary form taistella?
