Kiinnittyvällä

Kiinnittyvällä is the adessive singular form of the Finnish adjective kiinnittyvä, which comes from the verb kiinnittyä meaning to adhere or to be attached. As an adjective, kiinnittyvä describes something that has an adhering or attaching property. When declined to adessive case, kiinnittyvällä is typically used to indicate where or in what state the described adhesion applies, for example in phrases like kiinnittyvällä pinnalla or kiinnittyvällä liimalla.

Grammatical notes: Kiinnittyvä is a present participle used as an adjective. Its forms decline like other Finnish adjectives. In the adessive singular, the form is kiinnittyvällä; examples of related forms include kiinnittyvän (genitive), kiinnittyvää (partitive), and kiinnittyvä (nominative). The past participle kiinnittynyt denotes a completed adhesion and has a different nuance from kiinnittyvä kiinnittyvällä.

Usage: Kiinnittyvällä is common in technical, scientific, and manufacturing contexts where the ongoing state of adhesion or the properties of an adherent material are being described. It is often found in product descriptions, process specifications, and quality-control texts. For a completed attachment rather than an ongoing property, kiinnittynyt is typically used.

- kiinnittyvällä pinnalla testattiin liiman tarttuvuutta. (tested on a surface that adheres)

- kiinnittyvällä liimalla käsitelty kappale varmistaa paremman kiinnityksen. (a piece treated with an adhesive that bonds)
