nuorennetaan

Nuorennetaan is a Finnish verb form that functions as the present passive of nuorentaa, meaning to rejuvenate or to make younger. It indicates that something or someone is being rejuvenated by an agent, rather than performing the action themselves.

The word is built from the Finnish root nuori (young) with the causative suffix -entaa, and the passive ending -nnetaan. As a passive form, nuorennetaan places emphasis on the result of rejuvenation and can be used when the actor is unknown or not specified.

Usage and contexts: Nuorennetaan is commonly found in cosmetic and medical discussions, where procedures or treatments are said to rejuvenate skin, tissues, or appearance. It is also used more broadly in marketing or cultural discourse to describe restoring youthfulness to products, brands, designs, or urban areas. Metaphorically, communities or traditions can be described as nuorennettavat by new initiatives intended to give them a fresher feel or appeal.

Related forms: The active counterpart is nuorentaa (to rejuvenate). Noun forms include nuorennus or nuorentaminen (the process or act of rejuvenation). Adjectival forms such as nuorentava describe something with rejuvenating properties or effects. The term is widely understood in everyday Finnish and in specialized contexts related to aesthetics, health, and cultural revitalization.
