Appendix:Finnish conjugation/selvitä

Verbs ending with ⟨-ta⟩/⟨-tä⟩ (but not ⟨-ata⟩/⟨-ätä⟩); inverse consonant gradation possible.

The inflectional stem is obtained by removing the final ⟨-a⟩/⟨-ä⟩, and changing the previous consonant to its strong form. The remaining final ⟨-t-⟩ mutates to ⟨-a-⟩/⟨-ä-⟩, ⟨-s-⟩, ⟨-n-⟩ or nothing in various conjugations, leading to somewhat erratic consonant gradation.

Similar to the type 73 (salata) type, except that an ⟨a⟩/⟨ä⟩ is inserted before the conditional suffix.

In colloquial Finnish, most verbs in this type are treated as if they were in class 74 (katketa), i.e. with no ⟨a⟩/⟨ä⟩ before the conditional suffix; the only exception are verbs where the stem ends in ⟨i⟩, to avoid an awkward -ii-.
