Sisältyä

Sisältyä is a Finnish verb meaning to be included or to be contained within something. It is an intransitive verb used to indicate that an element is part of a larger set, price, program, document, or collection. In practice, it often appears in constructions that specify what larger whole the item belongs to, for example, in prices or schedules.

Common usage patterns include phrases where something is said to be part of a total. Examples: “Kustannuksiin sisältyy lounas” (Lunch is included in the costs) and “Ohjelmaan sisältyy kiertokäynti” (The program includes a tour). The wording focuses on the inclusion of an element within a broader whole rather than on the element itself.

Conjugation and related forms: the infinitive is sisältyä; the present tense third person singular is sisältyy; the simple past is sisälti or sisältiin depending on dialect, and the past participle is sisältynyt. The noun form for the concept is sisältyminen (inclusion) or sisältyminen/kelpoisuus in context.
