Suositellaan

Suositellaan is a Finnish verb form meaning "is recommended" or "it is advisable." It is the present passive form of the verb suositella (to recommend). The passive voice is used to express that something is advised by authorities, guidelines, or experts rather than by the speaker, and it often appears in instructions, manuals, health notices, safety guidelines, and consumer information. The construction typically follows a noun or clause describing the thing to be done, as in: "Tätä lääkettä suositellaan otettavaksi aamulla." Another example: "Ruokavaliossa vihannesten lisäämistä suositellaan päivittäin." In addition to explicit verb phrases, suositellaan can appear as a standalone directive in bullet points or headings.

Nuance: suositellaan implies a recommendation rather than a command; it does not obligate, but indicates that following the recommendation is considered advisable. The equivalent in English is "is recommended" or "it is advised to."

Etymology: suositella derives from suositus (recommendation). The word is common in official Finnish language, particularly in health, safety, and consumer information.
