suihkutellaan

Suihkutellaan is a Finnish verb that translates to "to shower" or "to spray" in English. It describes the act of releasing a liquid, typically water, in small droplets or a fine stream. The verb is often used in the context of personal hygiene, referring to taking a shower. For instance, "Minä suihkuttelen" means "I am showering."

The word can also be used metaphorically to describe a rapid or abundant dispersal of something. For example, one might say "lahjoja suihkutellaan" which could be interpreted as "gifts are being showered" or "gifts are being rained down." The intensity or direction of the spray can be further specified with adverbs or other words.

In a more technical sense, "suihkutellaan" can refer to the action of a shower head or nozzle. Industrial processes might also involve "suihkuttelu," such as spraying paint or water for cooling purposes. The plural form of the verb is "suihkutellaan" in the passive voice, meaning "are being showered" or "are being sprayed." This passive form is common when the agent performing the action is not specified or is unimportant.
