kätketään

kätketään is a Finnish word. It is the third-person plural passive present indicative form of the verb "kätkeä". The verb "kätkeä" means to hide, conceal, or disguise. Therefore, "kätketään" translates to "they are hidden," "they are being hidden," or "let them be hidden" depending on the context.

This form is used when referring to multiple things or people that are in a state of being hidden, or when suggesting that something should be hidden by an unspecified group. For example, "Avaimet kätketään" could mean "The keys are hidden" or "The keys are being hidden." In a more imperative sense, "Rikokset kätketään" might imply "The crimes are being concealed" or "Let the crimes be concealed."

The passive voice in Finnish, as exemplified by "kätketään," is common and often used to describe actions where the agent performing the action is unknown, unimportant, or intentionally omitted. It can also be used to create a sense of anonymity or generality. The plural form indicates that the subject of the hiding action is more than one item or entity.
