Linjautuu

Linjautuu is a Finnish intransitive verb meaning to become aligned or to align with something, typically in reference to a line, axis, or benchmark. The word derives from linja, meaning line, with a suffix that marks a change of state toward a line or guideline. The infinitive is linjautua, and the present tense third-person singular is linjautuu.

In practice, linjautuu is used in technical and scientific Finnish to describe the alignment of physical components, guides, sensors, or reference axes. It can also be used figuratively to describe alignment with a policy, standard, or strategic goal. Example sentences: "Komponentti linjautuu koaksiaalin akselin kanssa." "Järjestelmä linjautui koordinaatistoon nähden." "Keskustelu linjautui hallituksen tavoitteisiin."

Conjugation follows standard Finnish grammar: present tense linjautuu; past tense linjautui; conditional linjautuisi. Related terms include linjaus (the act or result of aligning) and linjallinen (line-like in certain contexts). Linjautuminen is a common noun referring to the process of aligning.
