Usages of pitää
Minun olisi pitänyt irrottaa kahvinkeitin pistorasiasta ennen virtakatkoa.
I should have unplugged the coffee maker from the outlet before the power outage.
Minun olisi pitänyt tehdä varmuuskopio jo viime viikolla, koska netti oli poikki koko illan.
I should have made a backup already last week, because the internet was down all evening.
Meidän olisi pitänyt testata porakone ensin, koska akku oli melkein tyhjä.
We should have tested the drill first, because the battery was almost empty.
Kuukausittain tarkistan budjetin, mutta meidän ei olisi pitänyt hyväksyä ylimääräistä maksua korjauksen yhteydessä.
Monthly I check the budget, but we should not have accepted an extra fee in connection with the repair.
