Sisennetty

Sisennetty is a Finnish adjective formed from the verb sisentää, meaning to indent, to inset, or to embed. The participle sisennetty describes something that has been placed inside another element, or that displays indentation or nesting. In general use, it signals a relation of inclusion or a hierarchical arrangement rather than a standalone item.

In typography and writing, sisennetty refers to text that is indented relative to the surrounding block, such as a quotation block or an inset paragraph. In programming and data formatting, the term is common for describing nested or hierarchically organized structures, for example sisennetty lista (nested list) or sisennetty koodilohko (indented code block). In linguistics, it can denote a clause embedded within another clause. The exact nuance depends on context, ranging from physical indentation on a page to logical nesting in data.

Etymology and related forms: The word derives from sisentää, and related nouns include sisennys (indentation) and sisennystapa (indenting method). The term is neutral and widely understood in Finnish, with its meaning shaped by usage in typography, programming, or linguistics.
