Striimataan

Striimataan is a Finnish verb form used to indicate that something is being streamed or is streamed. It is the present passive form of the verb striimata, a loanword based on the English word “stream” and integrated into Finnish as striimaus and related forms. The expression is commonly used in the context of online video and audio broadcasts distributed over the internet.

In usage, striimataan describes ongoing broadcasting with an unspecified agent. It is typically used for live or pre-recorded content that is transmitted to viewers or listeners through streaming platforms. Common contexts include live broadcasts, gaming streams, webinars, and other online media releases. Examples include sentences like “Lähetys striimataan suorana” and “Päivän ohjelma striimataan verkossa.”

Etymology and related terms: the verb striimata and the noun striimaus derive from the English term stream, adapted to Finnish phonology and grammar. Related forms include striimaus (the act or process of streaming) and striimaaminen (the act of streaming). The active counterpart is striimaa, meaning “to stream,” while the passive present is striimataan. The term has become common in Finnish media discourse since the rise of internet streaming in the 2010s, reflecting the broader shift toward online distribution of audio and video content.
