keskeytymään

Keskeytymään is a Finnish verb meaning "to be interrupted" or "to be broken off". It is the passive form of the verb keskeyttää, which means "to interrupt" or "to break off". The verb is used in various contexts to describe situations where something is brought to an unplanned or premature end. For example, a meeting might be keskeytyä due to an emergency, or a performance could be keskeytyä because of technical difficulties. It can also refer to a more abstract interruption, such as a thought being keskeytyä or a process being keskeytyä. The grammatical form indicates that the subject of the sentence is the entity experiencing the interruption, rather than the entity causing it. This passive construction is common in Finnish and allows for focusing on the event of interruption itself. Understanding its usage is important for comprehending spontaneous cessations of activities or states in Finnish.
