järjestetään

Järjestetään is a Finnish verb form meaning that something is organized, arranged, or held. It is the present passive form of the verb järjestää, which expresses the act of organizing or coordinating activities, events, or procedures. In everyday and formal Finnish, järjestetään is used to describe that an event or arrangement will occur or is being arranged, without specifying who performs the action.

In use, the passive voice focuses on the action rather than the agent. The subject of a sentence with järjestetään is typically an event, program, or process. The agent responsible for the organization can be indicated with phrases such as “toimesta,” “sä on,” or by naming the organizing body, for example “kaupungin järjestämä” or “organisaation järjestämä,” though the agent is often left implicit. Time reference is conveyed through context or time adverbs, for example “Tapahtuma järjestetään ensi viikolla.”

Grammatically, järjestetään is the third-person singular present passive form of järjestää. Finnish verbs express tense primarily through context rather than separate endings, so järjestetään can refer to a present or near-future event when paired with time expressions. It coexists with related forms such as the active järjestää (to organize) and the nominalized/Jarjestäminen (organizing process).

Etymology and related words: järjes­tetään derives from järjestää, related to the noun järjestys meaning order or arrangement, with the typical Finnish causative suffix -ttää used to form the verb. Common related terms include järjestäminen (the act of organizing) and järjestely (an arrangement or coordination). In practice, järjestetään is a neutral, factual way to report how events or processes are set up or conducted.
