Lähettämistä

Lähettämistä is a Finnish noun that refers to the act or process of sending something. It is a nominalized form derived from the verb lähettää, meaning “to send,” and is used to discuss sending as an action or concept rather than a specific instance of sending.

In Finnish, -mistä forms appear in partitive or as part of larger noun phrases when the act is treated in a non-count or indefinite sense. Lähettämistä can be contrasted with more concrete phrases such as “lähettäminen” (the act of sending) in contexts where grammatical cases or sentence structure require a partitive or other inflection.

Lähettämistä is used across several domains. In postal and logistics contexts it denotes the overall process of dispatching items. In information technology and telecommunications it can refer to the sending of data, messages, or files. In regulatory or procedural language, the term often appears in formulations that describe requirements, guidelines, or risks related to sending information or goods.

Related terms include lähettäminen (the act of sending as a noun), lähettää (to send), and associated roles such as lähettäjä (sender) and vastaanottaja (receiver). The term is part of everyday Finnish in formal, administrative, and technical writing, as well as in discussions about workflows and data or parcel transmission.
