It is the inessive plural form of the present active participle of the verb 'lähentyä', meaning to approach or get closer. This grammatical form indicates a state of movement or progression towards something or someone, experienced by multiple entities.

The word 'lähenevissä' can be used in various contexts. In a temporal sense, it might describe events that are nearing, such as "lähenevissä juhlissa" (in the approaching holidays). It can also refer to physical proximity, as in "autot ovat lähenevissä" (the cars are approaching). The phrase emphasizes that the subject is in the process of getting nearer.
