esittää

== Finnish == === Etymology === esi- (“front, fore-”) +‎ -ittää. First attested in 1853 in Daniel Europaeus's dictionary; esitys is attested two years earlier in 1851 in Agathon Meurman's dictionary, which Elias Lönnrot also contributed to, and esitellä was coined already in 1848. The exact coiner is thus difficult to determine. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈesitːæːˣ/, [ˈe̞s̠it̪ːæː(ʔ)] Rhymes: -esitːæː Syllabification(key): e‧sit‧tää Hyphenation(key): esit‧tää === Verb === esittää (transitive) to express, offer, set/put forth, state Synonym: ilmaista esittää mielipiteensä ― to express one's opinion esittää kysymys ― to ask a question esittää pyyntö ― to make a request (transitive) to show, present [with allative ‘to (someone)’] Synonym: näyttää (transitive) to produce (to make available to a person, an authority, etc.) (transitive) to perform, do Coordinate term: esiintyä (intransitive) esittävät taiteet ― performing arts (transitive) to present, produce (on a stage), stage, show (transitive) to submit, suggest, propose; to move, make a motion; to nominate, put forward; to refer Synonyms: ehdottaa, (make a motion) tehdä esitys (transitive, usually atelic) to pose as, play (the part of), pretend to be, impersonate, purport oneself to be Synonyms: esiintyä (+ essive), tekeytyä (+ translative), teeskennellä (transitive, usually atelic) to portray, represent, render, depict ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “esittää”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023
