Liikennöivillä

Liikennöivillä is a Finnish word that translates to "operating" or "in service" when referring to vehicles, transportation, or machinery. It is the plural adessive form of the present active participle of the verb "liikkua," which means to move or to be in motion. This grammatical form is used to describe something that is currently engaged in its function or purpose.

In the context of transportation, "liikennöivillä" would describe vehicles like buses, trains, or trams that are actively running on their routes, carrying passengers or goods. For example, a sentence might state that "kaupungin linja-autot ovat liikennöivillä aikataulun mukaisesti," meaning "the city's buses are operating according to the schedule." Similarly, it can refer to ships or aircraft that are in operation.

Beyond transportation, the term can also apply to other forms of machinery that are in active use. This might include construction equipment, factory machinery, or even electronic devices that are powered on and functioning. The core idea is that the object or entity is not idle but is actively performing its intended task. The adessive case often implies a state or condition, hence "liikennöivillä" suggests a state of being in operation or actively moving.
