Liittymiä

Liittymä is a Finnish noun that denotes a connection, link, or interface. It is derived from the verb liittyä, meaning to join or relate. The plural partitive form liittymiä is used when speaking of several connections or interfaces in an indefinite sense.

In technology, liittymä describes points of contact between systems or devices. Verkkoliittymä (network interface) is the component that connects a device to a network. Käyttöliittymä (user interface) is the point at which a person interacts with a system. The term covers both hardware interfaces and software interfaces, depending on context.

In telecommunications, liittymä commonly refers to a service subscription with a network operator—such as a mobile phone or broadband plan. A customer may own multiple liittymiä, each associated with a particular device or service.

Beyond technical uses, liittymä can denote a connection between ideas, organizations, or places. The related verb liittyä means to join or become related, and many compound terms use liittymä to express a point of contact or linkage.

In summary, liittymiä refers to multiple connections or interfaces and appears in contexts such as computing, networking, and telecommunications as well as in more abstract uses describing relationships. See also related terms such as liittymä, liittyminen, and related compound words.
