Liittyvillä

Liittyvillä is the inessive plural form of the Finnish adjective liittyvä, meaning related or connected. It is used with plural nouns in the adessive case to indicate location or association with the related entities. Common phrases include liittyvillä osapuolilla (with related parties) and liittyvillä yrityksillä (with related companies). The form frequently appears in legal, financial, and corporate texts to describe relationships, transactions, or disclosures involving entities that are connected to each other.

In practice, liittyvillä serves as a grammatical marker to specify that the referenced subjects have a connection to a central company, its subsidiaries, or other linked actors. The broader concept it gestures to is that of related parties, which encompasses entities that have control, joint control, or significant influence over a company, as well as key management personnel and close family members in some contexts. Finnish regulatory and accounting language uses the phrase to frame obligations for transparency and disclosure regarding these relationships and any transactions conducted with them.

Examples of usage are common in contracts, annual reports, and governance documents. For instance, in a contract: “Tässä sopimuksessa liittyvillä osapuolilla tarkoitetaan yhtiötä sekä sen tytäryhtiöitä.” In accounting: “Tilinpäätöksessä on huomioitava liittyvillä osapuolilla olevat suhteet.” These usages underscore the practical function of liittyvillä as a precise, context-dependent term in Finnish professional language. Etymologically, it derives from liittyvä, with the suffixes adjusted to agree with plural nouns in various cases. See also related term: liittyvät osapuolet.
