Liittyvissä

Liittyvissä is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the inessive plural of the adjective liittyvä, meaning related or connected. It is used to modify a plural noun in the inessive case, for example in phrases such as liittyvissä asioissa (in related matters) and liittyvissä tapauksissa (in related cases).

As a declined form, liittyvissä appears in the context of a larger noun phrase and is not typically used alone. The stem liittyvä comes from the verb liittyä, meaning to relate or belong, and the participial meaning shifts to convey a state of being related.

Usage of liittyvissä is common in formal or technical Finnish, including academic writing, policy documents, and legal or regulatory texts. It signals relevance or connection to another topic, set of items, or context, and can combine with various nouns in the plural inessive: asioissa, tapauksissa, osissa, tiedoissa, and similar constructions.

Examples:

- Liittyvissä asioissa on huomioitava asiayhteys. (In related matters, the context must be considered.)

- Liittyvissä tapauksissa sovelletaan samoja sääntöjä. (In related cases, the same rules apply.)

Notes:

- The form is a grammatical tool rather than a standalone lexical entry; it is best understood as the inessive plural agreement of liittyvä used with a following plural noun.

- Common translations emphasize “in related …” or “concerning related …” depending on the noun it modifies.
