siirryttään

Siirryttään is a Finnish verb form derived from the verb siirtyä, meaning to move, proceed, or shift. It is the present passive form and is used to indicate that the action of moving on to the next step, topic, or section should take place. In this use, the subject is not specified, giving the sentence an impersonal or directive character. The form is common in formal or procedural Finnish, such as manuals, guidelines, reports, and minutes.

A typical use is in instructions or discussions where the text directs the reader or participants to proceed. For example, Siirryttään seuraavaan kappaleeseen translates roughly to “Let us move on to the next paragraph” or “We move on to the next paragraph.” Similarly, Siirryttään seuraavaan vaiheeseen can mean “We move on to the next phase.” The exact translation may vary with context, but the core meaning is the progression to the next step.

Relation to other forms is mainly a matter of register and nuance. Siirryttään tends to appear in formal or bureaucratic language, while other present passive forms of siirtyä—such as siirrytään—are also used in everyday language to express moving on or proceeding. The choice between forms reflects differences in tone, formality, and audience.

In summary, siirryttään is a standard Finnish present passive form used to express progression to the next part of a text, procedure, or discussion, typically in formal or impersonal contexts.
