virittäeniselitään

Virittäeniselitään is a Finnish compound word. It is formed from the words "virittää" and "selittää". "Virittää" can have several meanings, including to tune an instrument, to set up or rig something, or to incite or provoke. "Selittää" means to explain or to clarify. Therefore, "virittäeniselitään" literally translates to something along the lines of "by tuning, it is explained" or "by setting up, it is clarified".

The precise meaning of "virittäeniselitään" is highly dependent on the context in which it is used. It often implies that a process of preparation, adjustment, or tuning is necessary before a phenomenon or concept can be properly understood or explained. For instance, one might need to "virittäeniselitään" a complex piece of machinery before its inner workings can be explained. Similarly, in a more abstract sense, certain societal issues might require a period of careful examination and "virittäeniselitään" before their root causes can be explained.

The word is not commonly used in everyday conversation but might appear in more technical, academic, or philosophical discussions where a nuanced description of a process leading to understanding is required. It suggests a sequential process: first, the tuning or preparation, and second, the explanation. The passive form "selitetään" (it is explained) indicates that the explanation is something that happens as a result of the preceding action.
