Nominoidaan

Nominoidaan is a Finnish verb form meaning “is nominated.” It is the present passive of nominoida, to nominate. In Finnish, the passive voice is used to describe actions where the agent is not specified, which is common in formal or impersonal contexts such as elections, awards, or committee decisions. The form is created by adding the passive ending -aan/-ään to the verb stem; for nominoida the result is nominoidaan.

Nominoida is a loanword in Finnish, derived from the English nominate or the Swedish nominera, and has established itself in formal vocabulary related to elections, awards, and recognition. The related noun nominaatio denotes the act or process of nomination, and nominoija refers to the person or party that nominates, though in practice the agent may be omitted.

Usage: Nominoidaan is used when the nominators are not specified or when the process is described impersonally. It is common in news reports, official announcements, and formal writing. Examples:

- Useita ehdokkaita nominoidaan järjestäjien toimesta.

- Palkinnon voittajaksi nominoidaan kolme elokuvaa.
