It is the allative case of the infinitive form of the verb "tylitetä," which means "to squash" or "to flatten." The allative case in Finnish indicates motion towards or destination.

Literally, it might describe an object being placed in a position where it is intended to be crushed, such as placing something under a heavy weight to flatten it. Figuratively, it can refer to a person or entity being subjected to immense pressure or force that aims to diminish or destroy them. For instance, a small business might feel like it is "tylitettäväksi" by larger competitors, meaning they are being pressured and are in danger of being crushed.

The grammatical structure of "tylitettäväksi" is formed by taking the infinitive stem of the verb "tylitetä," adding the passive participle suffix "-tävä," and then applying the allative case ending "-ksi."

The word itself carries a sense of passive suffering or impending doom, depending on the context of its usage.
