Päivittyä

Päivittyä is a Finnish verb meaning to become updated or to be updated. It is used when the information, content, or state changes to a more current version, often as a result of automatic updates or new data being added. The form päivittyy is used for the present tense in the third person singular, as in "Sivuston tiedot päivittyvät" (The site’s information is updated / updates itself).

In practical use, päivittyä appears in contexts related to software, websites, news, and data sets. It describes processes where content or data changes to reflect new information, rather than actions performed by an agent. By contrast, the active verb päivittää means “to update” and is used when someone or something actively updates another object, for example, "ohjelmisto päivittää tiedot" (the software updates the data). The related noun päivitys refers to the update itself, and päivitys or päivittyminen denotes the updating process.

Common phrases include: "tiedot päivittyvät reaaliajassa" (the information updates in real time), "sovellus päivittyy automaattisesti" (the application updates itself), and "päivitys on valmiina" (the update is ready). The past participle päivittynyt means "updated."
