Jäljennetään

Jäljennetään is a Finnish verb form belonging to the verb jäljentää, used in the passive voice. It means that something is copied, reproduced, or produced as a faithful counterpart of an original. The sense encompasses both physical copies (for example documents, plans, or artworks) and non‑physical reproductions (such as digital facsimiles or data replicas). In practice, jäljentäminen emphasizes fidelity to the original rather than mere copying.

The word derives from the noun jäljentös(ö) or jäljennös, meaning a copy or facsimile, with the verb-forming suffix -tää. The current tense form is jäljen‑ tä‑ nnä? in Finnish orthography, the standard passive present is jäljentetään or jäljentyy, depending on the verb’s conjugation class; in any case, jäljentetään is the common form used to say “is reproduced” or “is copied.” The related noun jäljentäminen (the act of reproducing) and the noun jäljennös (a copy) are frequently used in archival, museum, and technical contexts.

Usage and contexts: jäljentäminen is common in archives, libraries, museums, publishing, patenting, manufacturing, and forensic or scientific documentation, where it is important to describe producing a faithful copy of an original. It contrasts with more general kopioida (to copy) or monistaa (to reproduce in large numbers); jäljentäminen often implies careful replication to preserve essential features. In everyday language, mais contexts, people may prefer kopioida, while jäljentäminen appears in formal or technical prose.
