edistettäisiin

The Finnish word "edistettäisiin" is the conditional passive form of the verb "edistää," which means to promote, advance, further, or facilitate. Therefore, "edistettäisiin" translates to "would be promoted," "would be advanced," "would be furthered," or "would be facilitated."

This grammatical form is used in hypothetical or conditional situations. For instance, one might say "Jos lisäresursseja olisi, hanketta voitaisiin edistettäisiin" (If there were more resources, the project could be promoted/advanced). The passive voice indicates that the action of promotion or advancement is being done to something or someone else, rather than by the subject of the sentence. The conditional mood ("-isi-") signifies that the action is not happening in reality but is dependent on certain conditions.

The word is commonly encountered in discussions about plans, proposals, or situations where progress is desired but contingent on external factors. It reflects a subjunctive mood, suggesting possibility rather than certainty. Understanding "edistettäisiin" is key to comprehending nuanced expressions of intent and potential outcomes in Finnish.
