sinetöidään

sinetöidään is the third-person plural present passive indicative form of the Finnish verb sinetöidä. The verb sinetöidä means to seal or to affix a seal. Therefore, sinetöidään translates to "are sealed" or "are being sealed" in English. This grammatical form is used to describe an action where something is being sealed by a third party or parties, and the focus is on the object being sealed rather than the agent performing the sealing. For example, in a sentence like "Kirjeet sinetöidään ennen lähettämistä" (The letters are sealed before sending), sinetöidään indicates that the action of sealing the letters is happening or will happen. It is a common construction in Finnish to express passive actions. The passive voice is often used when the doer of the action is unknown, unimportant, or when a more formal or objective tone is desired.
