epäiletään

Epäiletään is a Finnish word that translates to "it is suspected," "it is doubted," or "there is suspicion" in English. It is the passive form of the verb "epäillä," which means to doubt or suspect. This passive construction is commonly used in Finnish to express uncertainty or the existence of doubt without specifying who or what is doing the doubting or suspecting.

The word can be used in various contexts. For instance, in news reports, it might appear as "epäillään syyllisyyttä" meaning "guilt is suspected." In everyday conversation, it could be employed when discussing rumors or possibilities, such as "hänen motiivejaan epäillään" which translates to "his motives are suspected" or "his motives are doubted." The impersonal nature of the passive form makes it a useful tool for conveying information that is not definitively proven or for attributing doubt to an unspecified entity. It allows for a degree of detachment and avoids direct accusation.
