Välittävät

Välittävät is the Finnish present tense form of the verb välittää, used with a plural subject. Välittää has several core meanings, most commonly: to convey or transmit something from one person or place to another; to relay or pass on information, messages, or goods; and in business or mediation contexts, to broker or arrange a transfer or deal. The form välittävät appears when the subject performs the action in the present and is plural.

Usage examples illustrate its primary sense of transmission and relay. For example: He välittävät viestin eteenpäin (They pass the message along). Yritys välittää tuotteita ulkomaille (The company delivers products to foreign markets). Uutiset välitetään yleisölle (The news are relayed to the public). In Finnish, the direct object of välittää is usually in the accusative (viestin, tavarat) when the object is definite, or in the partitive (viestejä, tavaroita) for indefinite or non-countable quantities. The verb is transitive and can also appear in various tenses and moods, such as välitti (past) or välittäköön (imperative).

Väillittävä related terms include välittäjä, meaning a mediator or broker, and välitys, meaning transmission or mediation. These terms describe the broader concept of passing something from one party to another, whether information, goods, or negotiation services. The word often appears in media, logistics, customer service, and information flow contexts, where rapid and accurate relay of information is important.

In summary, välittävät denotes a plural-present action of conveying or relaying, a core function in communication, commerce, and mediation.
