Questions & Answers about Työ edistyy, kun suunnitelma on selkeä.
What does edistyy mean here, and what is its basic form?
Edistyy is the 3rd person singular form of the verb edistyä, which means to progress, to advance, or to move forward.
So:
- edistyä = to progress
- edistyy = it progresses / is progressing
In this sentence, työ edistyy means the work progresses.
Why is it Työ edistyy and not something with a subject pronoun like se edistyy?
In Finnish, you usually do not need a separate subject pronoun if the subject is already stated.
Here:
- työ = work
- edistyy = progresses
So työ edistyy already means the work progresses.
Using a pronoun like se would usually only happen if you were referring back to something already mentioned and wanted to emphasize it or avoid repeating the noun.
