Liitännän

Liitännän is a Finnish term that appears as the genitive singular form of nouns associated with attachments, appendices, or interfaces. In practice, it is most often encountered in formal documents and correspondence to indicate something that is attached to or appended to the main text. The root nouns commonly involved are liite (attachment), liitäntä (interface/connection), and related terms. Because Finnish uses inflection to indicate possession and relation, liitännän marks “of the attachment” or “of the interface” depending on the head noun.

In use, liitännän is found in administrative, legal, and technical writing. A phrase like “liitännän tiedot” means “the information in the attachment” and “liitännän koko” means “the size of the attachment.” In more everyday language, speakers may prefer liite rather than liitännän when referring to an attached document or file, as liite is the more common word for an attachment.

Related terms include liitäntä (interface/connection) and liite (attachment). The term liitännän itself is not a separate lexical entry; rather, it functions as a grammatical form used with other roots denoting attached items. In translation, liitännän is typically conveyed as “of the attachment” or “of the appendix” depending on the context and the underlying noun. Overall, it serves a practical role in clarifying possession or association with attached material in formal Finnish text.
