häirittyy

Häirittyy is not a standard Finnish verb form listed in dictionaries. In practice, it is commonly understood as a misspelling or conflation of the present tense form häiriintyy, which comes from the verb häiriintyä meaning “to become disturbed” or “to be disturbed.” The form häiriintyy is standard and describes a change of state in which the subject is affected by disturbance, distraction, or interruption.

Häiriintyä is an intransitive verb. Its present tense third-person singular form is häiriintyy, and it can be used to describe how a person’s concentration, mood, or attention is disrupted by external factors such as noise, interruptions, or conflicting stimuli. The related noun häiriintyminen denotes the phenomenon or act of becoming disturbed, while häiriittäminen (disruption) and häiriö (disturbance) are common synonyms in related contexts. The past participle form häiriintynyt corresponds to “disturbed” in a passive sense.

Because häirittyy does not align with standard Finnish morphology, it is generally treated as a spelling error or a nonstandard, dialectal variant rather than a recognized lexical item. In formal writing and most contemporary Finnish texts, speakers would prefer häiriintyy (present) or häiriinnyt/häiriintynyt (past or participle forms) depending on the intended meaning.
