määräydy

Määräydy is a Finnish verb that translates to "to be determined," "to be decided," or "to be appointed." It is the passive past participle of the verb määrätä, which means "to determine," "to decide," or "to appoint." The word is often used in official documents, contracts, and other contexts where a future outcome or assignment is left unspecified for the time being.

The grammatical form määräydy indicates that the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action of being determined or decided. For example, "Asia määräydy myöhemmin" translates to "The matter will be decided later." This implies that the decision has not yet been made and will be made at a future point.

In a legal or administrative context, "määräydy" can refer to something being assigned or designated. For instance, a specific role or responsibility might be "määräydy" to an individual at a later time. The exact nature of what is being determined or decided is usually understood from the surrounding context.

The term emphasizes the passive nature of the event; something is happening to the subject rather than the subject actively doing something. It signifies a state of being pending a future resolution or assignment. The usage of "määräydy" is common in formal Finnish and conveys a sense of anticipation for a future decision or appointment.
