Suunnitellaan

Suunnitellaan is the present passive form of the Finnish verb suunnitella, which means "to plan." In Finnish, the passive voice is commonly used to express actions without naming the agent, or to emphasize the process rather than who performs it. Therefore, suunnitellaan translates roughly as "is planned" or "are being planned," depending on the subject and context.

Usage of suunnitellaan is frequent in public communication, media reports, and formal planning contexts. It can refer to a project, event, policy, or schedule that is currently under development. The subject is often a non-personal or collective entity, such as an organization, municipality, or system, making the agent unspecified.

Examples include: "Tämän tapahtuman aikataulu suunnitellaan parhaillaan." (The schedule for this event is being planned right now.) "Projektin budjetti suunnitellaan yhdessä sidosryhmien kanssa." (The project budget is being planned together with the stakeholders.) "Kaupunkisuunnitelman uudistus suunnitellaan ensi vuonna." (The city plan revision is being planned next year.)

Related forms include the active present forms of suunnitella: "suunnittelemme" (we plan), "suunnittelette" (you plan), and "suunnittelevat" (they plan). The infinitive is suunnitella. The passive form suunnitellaan is commonly used in impersonal or organizational contexts to focus on the planning activity rather than the actor.
