siirretään

Siirretään is the present passive form of the Finnish verb siirtää, which means to move, shift, or transfer. In Finnish, the passive form is used to describe an action without specifying who performs it. Therefore siirretään can be translated as “is transferred” or “is being moved,” and it can refer to the movement of objects, data, or other items, as well as to changes of state or location.

The form appears frequently in technical, administrative, and logistical contexts. For example, in information technology one might encounter sentences like Tiedot siirretään uudelle palvelimelle, meaning “The data is transferred to a new server.” In organizational settings, it can describe funds, tasks, or responsibilities being relocated or reassigned. The passive emphasizes the process rather than the actor.

Grammatically, siirretään signals that the subject is indefinite or generic. The agent (who moves) is not stated. The form is part of Finnish passive conjugation and its time reference is present; readings of future or past readings depend on surrounding context and time expressions.

Related terms include siirtäminen (the act of moving or transferring), siirtos (a transfer or relocation in some contexts), siirtö, and siirtäjä (one who transfers, though used more rarely). The active counterpart is siirtää, and the noun forms such as siirto (transfer) and siirtäminen help describe different aspects of the same concept.
