jätetään

Jätetään is the present passive form of the Finnish verb jättää, meaning to leave, to abandon, or to omit. In this form, the doer of the action is not specified, and the statement concerns something that is left, left behind, or left out. The construction is commonly used in informational or descriptive contexts where a general or indefinite subject is assumed.

As a present passive, jätetään can express both leaving an item in a place and omitting or excluding something in a text or procedure. The nuance depends on accompanying words, most often with pois or tekemättä to clarify omission or inaction. For example, jätetään pois means “is left out” or “will be left out,” while jätetään tekemättä can mean “left undone.”

Common usages include editing, instructions, and formal statements. In editing or reporting, one might say that certain details are jätetty pois from the final version. In rules or procedures, it can indicate that a step is left out or not carried out. The form is impersonal and does not specify who performs the leaving or omitting.

Examples:

- Kertomuksesta jätetään pois epäoleelliset tiedot. (Non-essential details are left out of the narrative.)

- Tämä kappale jätetään pois seuraavasta versiosta. (This paragraph will be left out of the next version.)

- Päätös jätetään tekemättä toistaiseksi. (The decision is left unmade for the time being.)

Jätetään is part of the broader Finnish system of passive verbs and is often used in written Finnish to convey neutrality and generality.
