Paljastaman is a Finnish word that translates to "to reveal" or "to expose" in English. It is the translative case of the verb "paljastaa," which means to uncover, disclose, or make something known that was previously hidden or secret. The translative case in Finnish is used to indicate a change of state or a transition into a new condition. Therefore, "paljastaman" signifies the act of bringing something into a state of being revealed.

The word can be used in various contexts. For example, it might refer to revealing a secret, exposing a hidden truth, or disclosing information. In a more literal sense, it could describe the act of uncovering something physically, such as revealing a statue or a piece of art. The nuance of "paljastaman" lies in the process of making evident something that was previously not. It implies a transition from concealment to openness.

Grammatically, "paljastaman" is a verbal noun form, specifically the translative of the infinitive. This grammatical construction emphasizes the result or the outcome of the action of revealing. It is often used in sentences to describe the purpose or the consequence of an action that leads to something being revealed. The word is a single unit, a portmanteau of the verb stem and the grammatical case ending, which is characteristic of the Finnish language's agglutinative nature. Understanding its grammatical function is key to interpreting its precise meaning in different Finnish sentences.
