#### Usage notes

* (have time to do): The semantics between the first and the third infinitive for the verb are slightly different. With the third infinitive, the action has a more definite nuance, of something that can be started, done and finished. This distinction is not always followed, however, especially in colloquial speech.
    Ehditkö katsomaan kisoja?Can you make it to watch the competition in time?e.g. to someone who is in a hurry to get to the stadium. Here, watching the competition is referring to watching them in person; one gets to the stadium, watches the event and then goes back home.
    Ehditkö katsoa kisoja?Do you find the time to watch the competition?e.g. to someone who is always busy and might not find the time to keep up to date. Here, watching the competition is referring to a longer event that one could watch on the television, and the action of doing so is not seen as that definite.
