Täytetäänkö

Täytetäänkö is a Finnish verb phrase formed from the verb täyttää, meaning to fill or complete. It combines the present passive form täytetään with the question particle -kö, producing a short, formal way to ask whether something is being filled or will be filled. In Finnish, the present passive does not encode person or number, so täytetään can refer to any subject being filled.

Usage and meaning: The phrase is commonly used in contexts where forms, fields, or spaces are completed, such as administrative forms, surveys, inventory fields, or packaging. It can convey both current ongoing filling and a future expectation, depending on context.

Examples:

- Täytetäänkö lomake nyt? (Is the form being filled out now?)

- Täytetäänkö nämä tiedot lomakkeeseen? (Are these details being filled into the form?)

- Täytetäänkö varauslomake sähköisesti? (Will the reservation form be filled electronically?)

Relation to other forms: The non-question counterpart is täytetään (it is being filled). Finnish also allows variations like Täytetäänkö tämä kenttä? or Täytetäänkö lomaketta? where the object is in the partitive case. The phrase can appear in formal writing and in spoken Finnish, though more fluent speech might rephrase it as a direct question using the appropriate context.
