viestittäen

viestittäen is a Finnish word that functions as a present passive participle. It is derived from the verb viestiä, which means "to communicate" or "to convey a message." The suffix -ttäen indicates that the action is being performed passively and concurrently with another action.

In essence, viestittäen translates to "while being communicated," "while being conveyed," or "by being communicated." It describes a state or process where information is being transmitted or is in the process of being delivered. For example, one might say "uutinen viestittäen lehdistölle" which would mean "the news, while being communicated to the press."

The word is used in a variety of contexts where the passive transmission of information is important. It can refer to official announcements, personal messages, or even broader forms of communication like propaganda. The focus is on the act of the message itself being delivered, rather than who is delivering it or how actively they are doing so. It implies a gradual or ongoing process of dissemination. Understanding viestittäen requires recognizing its role as a participle that modifies a noun or a clause, describing the passive nature of the communication.
