Thus, "Piilottaa autotalli''in''" means literally 'Hide in('''''to''''') the garage'. Similar verbs are e.g. ''[[eksyä]]'', ''[[eksyttää]]'', ''[[hukkua]]'', ''[[hukata]]'', ''[[hukuttaa]]'', ''[[kadota]]'', ''[[kadottaa]]'', ''[[hävitä]]'', ''[[hävittää]]'', ''[[saapua]]'', ''[[jäädä]]'', ''[[jättää]]'' and ''[[rakentaa]]''. See also the verbs ''[[etsiä]]'', ''[[löytää]]'', ''[[löytyä]]'', ''[[lukea]]'' and ''[[kuulla]]'' which require the question "'''''where from'''''?" instead of "'''''where'''''?" (''[[nähdä|Nähdä]]'' can be both a verb with an essive case ("'''''where'''''?") and a verb requiring the question "'''''where ... from'''''?".)         ====Synonyms====   ====Synonyms==== − *(''to hide, conceal'') [[kätkeä]] + * {{sense|to hide, conceal}} {{onym|fi|kätkeä}}       ===Anagrams===   ===Anagrams===
