Lukea is not just to read, but it is also used in expressions that would probably have the verb to say or something else in other languages. The four important forms are lukea, luen, luin and lukenut.
- Kyltissä lukee, että puut ovat vain grillaamista varten. - The sign says that the firewood is only for barbeque.
- Lehdessä luki, että kaupat ovat tänään kiinni. - According to the newspaper, the shops are closed today.
- Mitä sun paidassa lukee? - What does your shirt say?
Notice that we also have luettaa and lueskella. Lukaista means to read something quickly. I'll write about that soon.
