lykkättyä

lykkättyä is a Finnish word that translates to "postponed" or "deferred" in English. It is the past passive participle of the verb lykätä, which means to push, shove, or postpone. The word can be used in various contexts to indicate that something has been delayed or put off until a later time.

For example, one might say "kokous on lykkätty" which means "the meeting has been postponed." This applies to appointments, events, tasks, or any other activity that was scheduled but did not occur at its originally intended time. The reason for the postponement can vary, from logistical issues to unforeseen circumstances.

In a broader sense, lykkättyä can also refer to a state of being delayed or held back. It implies a lack of immediate action or resolution, with the expectation that the matter will be addressed at a future point. This can sometimes carry a negative connotation, suggesting procrastination or inefficiency, while at other times it is a practical necessity. The word's grammatical form changes depending on its use in a sentence, agreeing with the noun it modifies.
