Finnish
Etymology 1
From *-bat, the plural of urj-fin-pro *-pa (present active participle suffix). fi -t plural, noun plural ending, is also used as the third-person plural ending in some dialects (including once in the standard language), hinting that this is originally an extension, likely to distinguish from the second-person singular. fi -vat is originally an eastern Finnish feature and has been standard only since the early 19th century.
Suffix
personal
fi personal The third-person plural verb ending.
Usage notes
Suffixed to the same stem that the first person singular has both in the present and the past tense, and in all moods.
Colloquially, the third-person singular is often used instead of the plural.
Synonyms
fi -t dialectal; in older Finnish only in the past tense or the conditional mood
