tehtäköön

Tehtäköön is a Finnish word that translates roughly to "let it be done" or "it shall be done." It is a passive imperative form, indicating a command or a strong suggestion that an action should be carried out, often by an unspecified agent or by general consensus. The word implies a sense of inevitability or a recognized necessity for a task to be completed.

The usage of tehtäköön can convey different nuances depending on the context. It can be used to express a resigned acceptance of a situation where something must be done, even if it is difficult or undesirable. For example, if a difficult but necessary decision needs to be made, someone might say "Tehtäköön niin" (Let it be done so). It can also be used to impart a sense of authority or determination, suggesting that a task will be accomplished regardless of obstacles. In some instances, it might carry a slightly archaic or formal tone. The grammatical structure highlights the action itself rather than the performer of the action, emphasizing the completion of the task.
