Viemisen

Viemisen is the genitive form of the Finnish noun vieminen, which denotes the act of transporting, carrying away, or conveying something from one place to another. The term is used to refer to the process itself as well as aspects related to it, such as management, planning, or costs associated with transport or removal.

Vieminen is formed from the verb viedä, meaning to carry or take away, with the -minen nominalizing suffix. The genitive form viemisen is used to indicate possession or relation to the act of transporting, for example in phrases like viemisen kustannukset (the costs of transport) or viemisen suunnittelu (the planning of transport). Because vieminen is an abstract noun, viemisen often appears in formal or technical contexts such as logistics, infrastructure, waste management, and construction projects.

Common usage and contexts include logistics planning, transport management, and regulatory discussion where the focus is on the process of moving goods or materials. In written Finnish, viemisen can pair with adjectives, verbs, or other nouns to describe specific aspects of the act, such as viemisen aikataulu (the schedule of transport) or viemisen hallinta (the management of transport).

Notes on nuance: viemisen refers specifically to the act as a concept rather than a concrete object. It is distinct from the concrete items being moved (which would use other terms) and from the verb itself, which is active. Related terms in the same domain include vieminen (the act in general) and viemäri (drainage) in unrelated senses.
