In Finnish grammar, the progressive aspect is not indicated by the use of specific verb conjugations, as in English. Instead, Finnish uses a combination of auxiliary verbs and specific verb forms to express ongoing actions. The most common way to form the progressive is by using the auxiliary verb “olla” (to be) combined with the present active participle, which ends in “-massa/-mรคssรค” or “-ssa/-ssรค”. Understanding the progressive in Finnish is crucial for students who want to express ongoing actions or situations in an accurate and natural manner.
