syljettymään

Syljettymään is a Finnish verb that translates to "to be spat out" or "to be expelled" in English. It is the passive past participle form of the verb sylkeä, which means "to spit." The verb can be used in a literal sense, referring to something being expelled from the mouth, or in a figurative sense, indicating something being rejected or cast out.

In a literal context, syljettymään would describe a situation where food or liquid is involuntarily expelled from the mouth. For example, one might say "ruoka syljettiin ulos" which means "the food was spat out." This could be due to disgust, choking, or other physical reactions.

Figuratively, syljettymään can describe a person or idea being rejected by a group or society. For instance, "hän syljettiin yhteisöstä" could mean "he was expelled from the community." This implies a strong sense of ostracization or banishment, as if the person were physically spat out. Similarly, an idea or a proposal might be "syljettiin" if it is strongly opposed and rejected by those in power or by the general public. The verb carries a sense of unpleasantness and forceful rejection.
