Conjugation

This verb has no consonant stem and therefore no first infinitive, so the lemma is the indicative third-person singular form. Forms requiring a consonant stem are substituted with ones of the synonymous verb kutista. Thus, the conjugation type selvitä is only valid for vowel-stem forms, while for consonant-stem forms, the type is rohkaista (marked in italic).
