Liittyvistä

Liittyvistä is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the elative plural of the adjective liittyvä, meaning related or connected. In Finnish, adjectives decline like nouns and take different endings to indicate number and case. The elative plural form relates to origin or reference, roughly translating to “from related [things]” in English.

In practice, liittyvistä is used when the head noun is plural and in the elative case. It commonly modifies nouns such as asiat, ilmiöt, aiheita or muuntaisia topics, indicating that the matters come from or concern related items. For example, liittyvistä aiheista means “about related topics,” and liittyvistä ilmiöistä means “from related phenomena.” The form helps distinguish relatedness from other kinds of relationships or from non-related items.

Usage and style: liittyvistä is typical in formal or academic Finnish where connections between topics or elements are being described. It is not a verb, but an adjective form that carries information about relationships, origins, or relevance to other, previously mentioned items. Correct use depends on matching case and number with the head noun in the sentence.

Etymology: liittyvä derives from the verb liittyä, meaning to relate or to be connected. The elative plural form liittyvistä builds on this participial adjective to express “from related [things].”
