Liityy

Liityy is not a standard Finnish word in itself; it is commonly mistaken for liittyy, the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb liittyä. The correct form liittyy comes from the verb liittyä, which means to join, belong, or relate. In Finnish, liittyä is used to describe how something pertains to or is connected with something else.

The verb liittyä belongs to everyday Finnish and is used to express relevance, association, or connection. Examples of correct usage include: “Tämä asia liittyy ympäristöongelmaan” (This matter relates to the environmental problem) and “Keskustelu liittyy tulevaan lainsäädäntöön” (The discussion relates to the forthcoming legislation). It can also describe physical joining or inclusion, as in contexts like groups or systems joining together.

Liityy is typically a misspelling or typographical error for liittyy. The standard third-person singular present form is liittyy, not liityy, because the verb stem is liitty-, and the correct inflection yields -y+ in the ending. While kola or automatic corrections can produce liityy in informal text, it is generally considered nonstandard and may be flagged in proofreading or formal writing.

In practice, writers should use liittyy when referring to what relates to or pertains to something. Related forms of liittyä include liittyminen (joining, becoming related) and liittynyt (joined, related). For reference, consult Finnish dictionaries for the correct forms and their usage.
