Hyötyisi

Hyötyisi is a Finnish finite verb form that belongs to the conditional mood and derives from the verb hyötyä, meaning to benefit or be advantageous. In English, it is typically translated as would benefit or would be advantageous. The form expresses a hypothetical outcome or potential benefit and is used in subordinate clauses or conditional statements.

In usage, hyötyisi marks the hypothetical aspect of the clause, with the subject providing the person and number. For example, Hän hyötyisi tästä, jos suunnitelma toteutuisi means “He would benefit from this if the plan were realized.” The form can occur in various contexts, most commonly in if-clauses introduced by jos or in discussions of possible outcomes under certain conditions. The exact person and number are specified by the subject; hyötyisi itself indicates a third-person singular form in standard constructions, while other persons use the corresponding conditional endings (hyötyisin for I would benefit, hyötyisit for you would benefit, etc.).

Relation to other forms is primarily within Finnish grammar. Hyötyä and hyöty are the root concepts of “benefit” or “advantage,” with hyötyisi serving as a specific conditional form of the verb hyötyä. The verb hyötyä itself is not as common in everyday speech as the noun hyöty, and hyötyisi tends to appear more in formal, written, or theoretical contexts where hypothetical or conditional outcomes are discussed.
