siirrettään

Siirrettään is a Finnish verb form functioning as the present passive of the verb siirtää, meaning to transfer, move, or relocate. In Finnish, the passive voice allows a statement to describe an action without naming the agent; the subject of the clause is typically the thing that is transferred, while the one performing the action is left unnamed.

Grammatical notes: The passive form is standard in formal and impersonal writing. The most common present passive of siirtää is siirretään. Siirrettään is a variant that can appear in some registers or historical texts and may reflect stylistic or phonetic choices; when used, it carries the same core meaning—“is/are transferred.”

Usage: Siirrettään (and its more common counterpart siirretään) is seen in administrative, legal, and technical contexts where the actor is unknown or irrelevant, such as descriptions of processes, data handling, or reorganizations. It is routinely used to present procedures or outcomes without specifying who performs them.

Examples:

- Tiedot siirretään uuteen tietokantaan.

- Vastuut siirretään uudelle osastolle.

Notes: While siirretään is the standard form in most modern Finnish texts, siirrettään may appear in older documents, regional usage, or stylistic variations. Both forms express the same impersonal action of transferring or relocating something, with the agent omitted by design.
