Myönnettäessä

myönnettäessä is a Finnish word that functions as an adverbial participle. It translates most commonly to "when granted," "upon granting," or "when awarded." The word is derived from the verb "myöntää," which means to grant, award, admit, or concede. The suffix "-ttäessä" indicates that the action is happening at the same time as or immediately following another action, particularly in a passive or receptive context.

This grammatical form is often used to describe the circumstances or conditions under which something is given or approved. For example, it might appear in legal or administrative contexts, such as "Lupa myönnettäessä" (Permit when granted) or "Avustus myönnettäessä" (Grant when awarded). It implies that certain criteria have been met or a decision has been made that leads to the granting of something.

The usage of myönnettäessä emphasizes the moment of reception or the state of being granted. It is a concise way to express a temporal or conditional relationship, linking the act of granting with a subsequent event or state. While direct translation can vary, the core meaning revolves around the point in time when something is officially given or approved. It is a common construction in formal Finnish.
