Sissetulevate

Sissetulevate is a Finnish attributive adjective that means incoming or inbound. It is the plural form used to describe inflows of money, resources, or payments, particularly in economic, budgeting, and financial contexts. The base form sissetuleva is used for singular nouns, while sissetulevat applies to plural nouns (for example, sissetulevat tulot or sissetulevat rahavirrat).

In usage, sissetulevat describes nouns that denote money or other inflows that are expected or realized. It is common in phrases such as sissetulevat tulot (incoming revenues) or sissetulevat kassavirrat (inflows of cash). Like other Finnish adjectives, sissetulevat agrees with the noun in number and case, so its form changes to match the grammatical context (e.g., sissetulevat tulot in the nominative plural, sissetulevaihin tuloihin in some case forms, etc.).

Etymology and sense: the word combines sis- (inside, inward) with tuleva (coming), yielding a sense of something that comes in or arrives, hence “incoming.” It is frequently encountered in financial reporting, budgeting documents, and economic analysis when distinguishing inflows from expenditures or other outflows.

Notes on nuance: sissetulevat is primarily a descriptor for expected or realized inflows rather than a standalone noun. Its precise meaning can be tuned by the noun it modifies, such as tulot (revenues), rahat (money), or maksut (payments). In English, it is commonly rendered as “incoming” or “inflows” in phrases like “sissetulevat tulot” = “incoming revenues.”
