käyttöpyritään

käyttöpyritään is a Finnish verb phrase used primarily in formal and administrative Finnish to express that efforts are directed toward using something or toward increasing the use of a resource, service, or process. It is not a standard finite verb by itself but a predicative construction in passive voice.

Grammatically, it combines the noun käyttö (use, utilization) with the present passive form pyritään (it is/are aimed at, we strive). The subject is typically impersonal, making the phrase suitable for policy and guideline texts. The construction often appears in clauses that state intentions or targets rather than concrete actions.

The phrase is commonly found in policy documents, project plans, and program descriptions to signal intention instead of documenting immediate actions. It frames goals such as accessibility, adoption, or compliance as aims to be achieved through later measures. It can be combined with infinitival clauses to specify the objective, for example, by saying that use is being encouraged or increased.

Examples:

- Käyttöpyritään varmistamaan, että palvelu on saavutettavissa kaikille käyttäjille. (Efforts are aimed at ensuring that the service is accessible to all users.)

- Käyttöpyritään lisäämään sähköisen asioinnin osuutta. (Efforts are aimed at increasing the share of electronic transactions.)

- Käyttöpyritään selkeyttämään ohjeistusta. (Efforts are aimed at clarifying the guidelines.)

Nuances and alternatives: käyttöpyritään emphasizes intention and planning rather than immediate action. In prose, speakers may choose other constructions such as pyrimme käyttämään, pyritään käyttämään, or varmistetaan, depending on the precise emphasis and formality.
