Käyttävistä

Käyttävistä is a Finnish word that translates to "those in use" or "those being used." It is the partitive plural form of the adjective "käyttävä," which itself is derived from the verb "käyttää" meaning "to use." The word indicates a state of being actively employed or functioning for a specific purpose.

In everyday Finnish, "käyttävistä" is used to refer to items, tools, machines, or even people who are currently in operation or being utilized. For example, one might discuss "käyttävistä koneista" (those machines in use) when referring to the active machinery in a factory, or "käyttävistä ohjelmista" (those programs in use) when talking about the software currently running on a computer. The context clarifies precisely what is being used and for what purpose.

Grammatically, "käyttävistä" functions as an adjective modifying a plural noun, or it can stand alone as a pronoun referring to a group of things or individuals that are in use. Its use emphasizes the current operational status rather than ownership or potential for use.
