Välteltyyn is a Finnish word that translates to "avoided" or "that which is avoided" in English. It is the past passive participle of the verb "välttää," which means to avoid, evade, or shun. The word is used to describe something or someone that has been intentionally kept away from or overlooked.

In everyday Finnish conversation, "välteltyyn" can refer to a person who is ostracized or not included in social activities, or to a topic that is deliberately not discussed due to its sensitive or unpleasant nature. For instance, one might say "hänestä oli tullut välteltyyn henkilö" (he had become an avoided person) to describe someone who was no longer welcome. Similarly, "se oli välteltyyn aihe" (it was an avoided topic) would indicate that a particular subject was not brought up.

The grammatical form of "välteltyyn" indicates that the action of avoiding has been done to the subject. It is a descriptive adjective or a part of a passive verb construction. The word carries a sense of deliberate exclusion or neglect. It is a common term used to express the concept of being deliberately kept at a distance, whether for social, personal, or practical reasons.
