Inaktivoituvat

Inaktivoituvat is a Finnish verb form that expresses a process of becoming deactivated or inactive. It is derived from the verb inaktivoida, meaning to deactivate, and the inaktivoitu- form indicates a change of state. Inaktivoituvat specifically denotes that the subject is plural and undergoing this change in the present tense.

The term is commonly used across scientific and technical contexts as well as everyday language. In biology and biochemistry, it describes molecules, enzymes, or cells that lose their activity under certain conditions, for example due to temperature, chemical exposure, or regulatory mechanisms. In information technology and systems administration, it can describe accounts, features, or services that are automatically or manually deactivated after a period of inactivity. The form makes it clear that the deactivation is occurring to multiple subjects at once.

Grammatically, inaktivoituvat is the third-person plural present form. The corresponding singular present form is inaktivoituu (it becomes deactivated). The past tense forms are inaktivoituivat (they became deactivated) and inaktivoituneita (deactivated entities, as a participle). Related nouns include inaktivoituminen or inaktivointi, which refer to the process of deactivation more generally.

See also: inaktivoida, inaktivoituminen, inaktivointi. These terms collectively cover the concept of changing from an active to a deactivated state in Finnish usage.
