lähetettyjä

Laiset is a Finnish term that translates to "sent" or "commissioned" in English. It is most commonly used in a religious context to refer to individuals who have been sent out with a specific mission or authority. This can include missionaries who are sent to spread their faith in new regions, or clergy who are ordained and sent to serve a congregation. The concept of lähetetyt emphasizes a divinely appointed task or a mandate given by a higher authority within a religious organization. It implies a sense of purpose and responsibility, as well as a departure from their original location or position to fulfill their designated role. The term can also be used more broadly to describe anyone sent on a mission, regardless of their specific religious affiliation or background, as long as the act of being sent with a purpose is central. The focus is on the act of sending and the subsequent carrying out of the assigned task.
