pääsyläpymykset

Pääsyläpymykset, also known as "passive voice" in English, refers to a grammatical structure in which the subject of a sentence receives the action expressed by the verb. In Finnish, this is typically achieved by using the passive voice marker "saada" (to receive) or "tulla" (to become) followed by the past participle of the verb. For example, "Kirja luetaan" (The book is read) uses the passive voice to indicate that the book is the receiver of the reading action.

The use of pääsyläpymykset can make sentences more concise and focus on the action or result rather than the doer of the action. However, it can also make sentences less clear and more difficult to understand, as the subject may not be immediately apparent. In some cases, the passive voice can be used to avoid blaming or emphasizing a particular subject, or to maintain a formal or impersonal tone.

In Finnish, the passive voice is commonly used in formal writing, such as in legal documents, official correspondence, and academic writing. It is also used in certain contexts to create a more impersonal or distant tone. However, in everyday conversation, the active voice is generally preferred for its clarity and directness.
