puudutetaan

Puudutetaan is an Estonian verb. It is the passive present participle of the verb "puudutama". The verb "puudutama" means to touch, to affect, or to relate to. Therefore, "puudutetaan" translates to "is being touched", "is being affected", or "is being related to".

It is used in a variety of contexts, from physical contact to more abstract concepts like emotional impact or relevance. The precise meaning often depends on the surrounding words and the overall context of the sentence.
