Manipuoidaan

Manipuoidaan is a Finnish verb that translates to "to be manipulated" or "to be handled." It is the passive present participle of the verb "manipuloida," which means "to manipulate." The word can be used in various contexts, from physical manipulation of objects to the more abstract manipulation of people or situations.

In a physical sense, manipuoidaan might describe how an object is being worked with or assembled. For example, "Tämä laite on monimutkaisesti manipuoidaan" translates to "This device is being manipulated in a complex way." This implies careful and perhaps intricate handling.

In a social or psychological context, manipuoidaan refers to being subjected to influence or control, often in a deceptive or unfair manner. For instance, "Hän tunsi itsensä manipuoidaan poliittisessa pelissä" means "He felt manipulated in the political game." This usage carries a negative connotation, suggesting a loss of agency or being unfairly influenced. The passive form emphasizes that the subject is the recipient of the action rather than the actor. The specific nuance of "manipuoidaan" depends heavily on the surrounding sentence and the context in which it is used.
