Ilmenviä

Ilmenviä is a Finnish adjective form used to describe things that are emerging or appearing. It is the plural, partitive form of the present active participle ilmenvä, which derives from the verb ilmetä meaning to appear or become evident. The form ilmenviä commonly accompanies plural nouns in the partitive or other cases, for example ilmenviä ongelmia (emerging problems), ilmenviä trendejä (emerging trends), ilmenviä riskejä (emerging risks). In Finnish, the -va/-vä suffix marks the present active participle, and inflection follows normal noun-adjective agreement patterns. The word emphasizes that something is not fully realized yet but is becoming noticeable or is expected to appear.

Usage notes: ilmenviä is frequently used in journalism, research, and policy language to describe phenomena that are not fully established but are showing signs of development. It can occur in compound expressions like “on ilmenviä ongelmia” (there are emerging problems). In grammar, ilmenvä is the base form; ilmenviä is one of its inflected forms, aligning with the noun’s case and number.
