eriäytyy

eriäytyy is a Finnish verb. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb eriääntyä. The verb eriääntyä means to become separate, to diverge, or to differ. Therefore, eriäytyy translates to "separates," "diverges," or "differs" in the present tense, referring to a singular subject.

For example, in a sentence like "Tie eriäytyy metsässä," it means "The road separates in the forest." Here, "tie" (road) is the singular subject performing the action of separating. Another usage could be in a biological context, such as "Solu eriäytyy kahtia," meaning "The cell divides into two." This illustrates the concept of divergence or separation.

The verb eriäytyy can also be used figuratively. For instance, "Mielipiteet eriäytyvät asiasta," meaning "Opinions differ on the matter." In this case, it highlights a divergence in viewpoints or perspectives. The root of the word is "eri," which means "different" or "separate." The suffix "-äytyä" indicates a process of becoming or turning into something. Thus, "eriäytyä" describes the process of becoming separate or different.
