irrotetaan

Irrotetaan is the present passive form of the Finnish verb irrottaa, meaning to detach, disconnect, or remove. In Finnish, the passive form is used to describe an action without specifying who performs it, which makes irrotetaan common in procedural, technical, and safety-related contexts.

Usage and meaning

Irrotetaan is typically used to indicate that some component or connection is being disengaged. It can refer to electrical, mechanical, or general detachment tasks. Examples include disconnecting power sources, removing cables, or detaching parts during maintenance or assembly. The subject of a sentence in passive form is the thing being detached, while the agent performing the action is often left unspecified.

Examples

- Sähköjohto irrotetaan virtalähteestä. (The power cord is disconnected from the power supply.)

- Kaapeli irrotetaan seinästä. (The cable is detached from the wall.)

- Laite irrotetaan ennen huoltoa. (The device is unplugged/disconnected before maintenance.)

Grammatical notes

Irrotetaan is the present passive. It does not convey who performs the action, only that the detachment occurs. The corresponding active form is irrottaa (he/she/they detach). Other related forms include irrotettu (detached, past participle) and irrotettava (to be detached, or detachable). The word is commonly found in manuals, safety instructions, and technical documentation due to its neutral, impersonal tone.
