Lähetyksen

Lähetyksen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun lähetys, meaning "mission" or "broadcast" depending on context. The word derives from the verb lähettää, "to send." In religious usage, lähetys refers to missionary activity or the sending of clergy and aid. In secular usage, it denotes a transmission or broadcast, such as a radio or television program (lähetys). The genitive form signals possession or attribution; for example, lähetyksen ohjelma (the mission’s program) or lähetyksen aikana (during the transmission). In Finnish grammar, the possessive/genitive is formed by adding -n to the noun, with standard capitalization rules applying (capitalization occurs at the start of a sentence or for proper nouns). In literature and organizational names, lähetyksen may appear as part of a proper noun or title, but in ordinary text it is usually lowercase. The term is thus used across religious, media, and logistical contexts, and its meaning is determined by surrounding words. Related forms include lähetys (nominative), lähetykset (plural), and lähetyksen (genitive). The distinction between meanings is usually clear from context.
