Täyttymistään

Täyttymistään is a Finnish inflected form derived from the noun täyttymys, meaning fulfillment or realization. The form is used to express origin or source in relation to fulfillment and is typically translated roughly as “from its fulfillment” or “in its fulfillment,” depending on the context. It often appears in formal, literary, or religious prose, and is more common in older texts or translations than in everyday speech.

Morphology and grammar: In Finnish, nouns receive case and possessive markings to convey relations such as origin, ownership, or modality. Täyttymistään represents a specialized combination of such markings that indicates the fulfillment related to a specific subject. The result is a long, sometimes archaic-sounding ending that signals a nuanced relationship between a state of becoming true and the source or agent associated with that fulfillment. Because Finnish inflection can be intricate, täyttymistään is typically found in careful, rhetorical writing rather than in casual conversation.

Usage: The form is relatively specialized and is most often encountered in literature, biblical or doctrinal translations, or linguistic analyses that discuss events described as having come true or being in the process of coming true. In contemporary spoken Finnish, speakers are more likely to use simpler constructions such as täyttynyt (fulfilled) or toteutunut (realized), depending on the nuance they wish to convey.
