nimeytetään

The Finnish verb "nimeytetään" is the passive present tense form of the verb "nimetä," which means "to name" or "to appoint." Therefore, "nimeytetään" translates to "is named," "is appointed," or "is being named," "is being appointed."

In Finnish grammar, the passive voice is formed by adding the suffix "-tään" or "-tään" to the verb stem. This grammatical construction indicates that the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action, rather than the performer of the action. For example, "Hän nimeytetään johtajaksi" translates to "He is appointed as director." The focus here is on the person being appointed, not on who is doing the appointing.

The usage of "nimeytetään" is common in formal contexts such as official announcements, news reports, and legal documents, where it conveys a sense of objective reporting or decision-making. It can refer to the naming of people to positions, the naming of places, or the naming of any entity that undergoes a formal designation process. The context of the sentence will clarify the specific meaning of "nimeytetään." For instance, if referring to a place, it would mean "is named." If referring to a person, it would mean "is appointed."
