varastoidaan

Varastoidaan is the present passive form of the Finnish verb varastoida, meaning to store or warehouse. It translates to "is stored" or "are stored" in English and is used when the actor performing the storage is unknown, unspecified, or general. The form is common in official texts, manuals, and data governance policies, where the focus is on the existence of storage rather than the agent.

Grammar and morphology: In Finnish, the present passive is formed by adding a passive ending to the verb stem; for varastoida this yields varastoidaan. In sentences, the object is typically in the partitive case (for uncountable items) or in the partitive plural (e.g., henkilötietoja varastoidaan).

Usage: Varastoidaan is used across domains: data storage (for example, "Henkilötietoja varastoidaan turvallisesti"), inventory management, logistics, and archival contexts. It can also refer to physical storage (warehousing) or to digital storage.

Related terms: varasto (storage facility), varastointi (storage process or act of storing), tallentaminen (saving data). The term is often contrasted with tallentaminen, which emphasizes saving data rather than physical or bulk storage.

Examples:

- Henkilötietoja varastoidaan sisäisesti järjestelmässä.

- Tiedot varastoidaan suojattuun pilveen.

- Varastoituja tuotteita hallitaan varastonhallintajärjestelmässä.
