Nopeuttava

Nopeuttava is a Finnish present active participle adjective derived from the verb nopeuttaa, meaning to speed up or accelerate. The suffix -va forms adjectives that indicate something that causes or brings about the action of the verb. Consequently, nopeuttava literally means "accelerating" or "speed-increasing."

In practice, nopeuttava describes processes, systems, measures, or phenomena that increase speed, tempo, or efficiency. It is used across technical, industrial, economic, and organizational texts to denote causal or enabling roles in acceleration. Examples include "nopeuttava järjestelmä" (an accelerative system) and "nopeuttava toimenpide" (an accelerating measure). The term emphasizes causation of faster performance rather than simply existing speed.

Grammar and related forms: As an adjective, nopeuttava agrees with the noun in number and case (for example, "nopeuttavan vaikutuksen" = "the accelerating effect"). The base verb is nopeuttaa, and the related noun is nopeus (speed). In Finnish, the -va/-vä participial form is productive and can yield a range of adjectives describing causative or instrumental characteristics.
