viivätyneet

viivätyneet is a Finnish word that translates to "delayed" or "postponed" in English. It is the plural form of the past participle of the verb "viivästyä," which means to be delayed or to be postponed. The word is commonly used in various contexts to indicate that something has not happened at the scheduled or expected time.

For instance, one might encounter the term in relation to transportation, such as "lentokoneet ovat viivästyneet" (the airplanes are delayed). It can also apply to events, projects, or deadlines. If a meeting has been rescheduled for a later time, it could be described as "kokous on viivästynyt." Similarly, a project that is taking longer than anticipated might be referred to as having "viivästyneet aikataulut" (delayed schedules).

The concept of viivätyneet implies a deviation from a planned or anticipated timeline. The reasons for such delays can be numerous, ranging from unforeseen circumstances and logistical issues to administrative or technical problems. The word itself is neutral and simply describes the state of being behind schedule, without inherently assigning blame or cause. It is a fundamental term in everyday Finnish communication when discussing matters of timing and punctuality.
