Täsmennetään

Täsmennetään is a Finnish verb form meaning to clarify or specify, expressed in the present passive. It is the passive present form of täsmentää, and it conveys that the act of clarifying or detailing is being carried out without identifying a specific agent. In translation, täsmennetään can often be rendered as “is clarified,” “will be clarified,” or “are specified,” depending on context.

Morphology and usage notes: The Finnish passive is used to indicate an action performed generally or by an unspecified subject. Täsmennetään appears as täsmenn- + -etään, a typical pattern for the present passive. Because Finnish verbs in passive do not require a named actor, the phrase can introduce information that will be elaborated or refined, rather than describing who will do the clarifying.

Contexts and style: Täsmennetään is common in official, technical, and news-like writing. It signals that further detail will be provided or is being supplied in a forthcoming part of the text, report, or document. It is often used to structure instructions, updates, or summaries where precision is needed.
