kehitetaan
Kehitetään is a Finnish verb form used to indicate that something is in the process of being developed. It is the present tense passive form of the verb kehittää, meaning to develop or to cultivate. In Finnish, the passive voice avoids naming the agent performing the action, so kehitetään roughly translates as “is developed” or “are being developed” depending on context. The subject is typically the thing under development, such as software, a product, a policy, or a plan.
Formation and usage: The form is created by adding the passive ending -ään to the verb stem
Examples: Finnish: Uutta ohjelmistoa kehitetään jatkuvasti. English: New software is being developed continuously. Finnish: Kaupungin palveluita
