viettelevään

Viettelevään is a Finnish word that translates to "television" in English. It refers to the electronic medium used for transmitting moving images and sound, typically for entertainment, news, and educational purposes. The term originates from the Latin word "video," meaning "I see," and the suffix "-televisio," which combines "tele," meaning "far," and "visio," meaning "sight." The first television broadcasts in Finland began in the 1950s, and the medium has since evolved significantly, with the advent of digital television, streaming services, and high-definition broadcasts. Viettelevään has become an integral part of modern Finnish society, with numerous channels catering to diverse audiences, including Yle, MTV3, and Nelonen. It is also a popular medium for advertising, with commercials playing a significant role in the programming. Despite the rise of digital platforms, traditional television remains a significant source of entertainment and information for many Finns.
