Päivitykseen

Päivitykseen is the illative form of the Finnish noun päivitys. Päivitys means update, upgrade, patch, or modernization. The illative case marks direction toward or into the state of being updated, and päivitykseen is used in sentences about actions directed at the update or about preparing for it.

Päivitys is formed from the verb päivittää, to update. The noun päivitys is a derivation with the suffix -itys. The illative suffix -kseen attaches to päivitys to indicate "into the update" or "for the update" in contexts where movement toward that state or commitment to that process is described.

Common uses are found in information technology, software, and administrative contexts. Typical collocations include päivitykseen liittyvät toimenpiteet (update-related measures), varata aikaa päivitykseen (allocate time for the update), and tiedotteessa käsitellään päivitykseen liittyviä muutoksia (the notice covers changes related to the update).

Etymology and note: päivitys derives from päivittää; the illative -kseen is one of several case forms used with abstract nouns to indicate direction toward a phenomenon. The form is common in contemporary Finnish, especially in IT and public administration.
