ositetaan

Ositetaan is a Finnish verb form used to indicate that something is allocated or distributed. It is the passive present tense of the verb osittaa, and it is commonly found in formal or official texts. The related noun ositus refers to apportionment or division, especially in administrative or legal contexts.

In use, ositetaan signals that an allocation has been made by an authority or process rather than by a named agent. It can describe the distribution of funds, responsibilities, or assets among recipients. The emphasis is on the outcome of the allocation rather than the specific actor responsible for performing it.

Contexts where ositetaan appears include budgeting, public administration, and inheritance matters. For example, in a municipal budget one might read that varat ositetaan eri toimielimille, meaning that funds are allocated to different bodies. In the context of inheritance, perinnön ositus describes the process of distributing an estate among heirs, with assets Ositetaan according to the applicable rules or will.

Etymology and morphology: the form is connected to the noun ositus, meaning allocation or division. The -taan/-ään passive suffix in Finnish creates the present passive. As a result, ositetaan characterizes a completed or continuing allocation as a general statement about the process or outcome.
