Välittyi

Välittyi is a Finnish verb form meaning that something was transmitted, conveyed, or mediated. It is the imperfect indicative in third-person singular of the verb välittää or välittyä, used when referring to information, signals, or influences that occurred or spread in the past. The form describes a state in which a message or effect moved from a source to recipients without specifying the exact agent of transmission.

In usage, välittyi is commonly employed in discussions about communication, media, and social or informational processes. It is appropriate for describing how information, impressions, or effects reached audiences or other actors, often through channels or intermediaries. Typical objects include tiedot, viestit, signaalit, or vaikutukset. The expression often appears in journalism, research reports, and analyses of public discourse.

Examples:

- Tieto välittyi nopeasti mediakanavien kautta. (The information was transmitted quickly through media channels.)

- Viesti välittyi yleisölle selkeästi ja ajoissa. (The message was conveyed to the audience clearly and in time.)

Etymology and related forms: the verb välittää means to convey or transmit, from which välittyä (to be mediated, to become transmitted) is formed with the -ttyä suffix indicating a passive or middle voice. Related nouns include välitys (transmission, mediation) and välittäjä (intermediary). The term is used in formal and semi-formal Finnish to describe the passage of information or influence from one point to another.
