Erääntyvien

Erääntyvien is a Finnish grammatical form, not a standalone concept. It is the genitive plural form of the present active participle erääntyvä, which comes from the verb erääntyä meaning “to become due,” “to mature,” or “to be payable.” The form erääntyvien is used to modify a noun in the genitive plural, indicating items that are due or maturing.

In practical use, erääntyvien describes obligations, payments, or other items that have reached their due date. It is common in finance, accounting, and legal or administrative texts. For example, erääntyvien velkojen määrä means “the amount of due (maturing) debts,” and erääntyvien laskujen hallinta refers to the management of due invoices. The construction highlights that the referenced items are expectations of payment rather than already fulfilled payments, depending on context.

The word belongs to Finnish morphology where adjectives and participles agree with the noun they modify in case, number, and definiteness. As a present active participle, erääntyvä conveys an ongoing or inherent quality—here, the status of being due or maturing. The genitive plural erääntyvien is one of several inflected forms; other related forms include erääntyvän (genitive singular) and erääntyvät (nominative plural).
