Siirryi

Siirryi is a nonstandard word form in Finnish language usage. It is not part of standard Finnish grammar and is generally considered a misspelling, typographical error, or a dialectal variation of the standard past tense form of the verb siirtyä, which is siirtyi. The standard form siirtyi is used for “moved,” “shifted,” or “transitioned” in the third-person singular past tense.

Linguistic note: The verb siirtyä belongs to the class of verbs meaning to move or to change position. In standard Finnish, the past tense forms follow phonological patterns that yield siirtyi in the singular for most subjects. The form siirryi would hypothetically require a stem siirry- that is not attested as a standard conjugation in modern Finnish. When siirryi appears, it is usually interpreted as a mistake, though it can occasionally be encountered in informal writing, text messages, or OCR results where characters are misread or altered.

Usage and reception: In edited prose and formal writing, siirryi should be corrected to siirtyi. In some dialectal or experimental contexts, readers may encounter unconventional forms, but such usage is rare and typically flagged as nonstandard. Language data and text corpora for Finnish generally treat siirryi as an error or nonstandard variant rather than a recognized form.
