Rakennutettiin

"Rakennutettiin" is a Finnish verb that translates to "was built" or "were built" in English. It is the past tense and passive voice form of the verb "rakentaa," which means "to build." The verb "rakennutettiin" is used to indicate that the subject of the sentence was built by someone else, with the builder often being implied or unspecified.

The verb "rakennutettiin" is formed by combining the past tense form of the auxiliary verb "tulla" (to come) with the past participle of "rakentaa." The past participle of "rakentaa" is "rakennettu," which means "built." Therefore, "rakennutettiin" literally translates to "it came to be built."

Here are a few examples of how "rakennutettiin" is used in sentences:

1. "Tämä talo rakennutettiin vuonna 1950." (This house was built in the year 1950.)

2. "Kirkko rakennutettiin keskiajalta lähtien." (The church was built from the Middle Ages onwards.)

3. "Uusi silta rakennutettiin joitakin vuosia sitten." (A new bridge was built a few years ago.)

In English, the passive voice is often used to emphasize the action or the result rather than the doer of the action. Similarly, "rakennutettiin" can be used to focus on the fact that something was built, without specifying who built it.
