esittäviin

Esittäviin is a Finnish inflected form derived from the verb esittää (to present, to perform). It represents the illative plural form of the present active participle esittävä, and it functions as an attributive modifier or as part of a noun phrase in the illative case.

Morphology and formation: The base form esittävä (present active participle) can be declined like an adjective. When the modifying element refers to multiple items in the illative case, the ending -iin is added, producing esittäviin. Thus esittäviin marks both plurality and a directional illative meaning in phrases where the modifier refers to “into/onto” or “toward” presenting entities or actions, depending on the surrounding structure.

Usage and nuance: Esittäviin is primarily found in formal or literary Finnish, especially in contexts where participial descriptors are used with a plural noun in illative position. It is not common in everyday speech, and its presence often signals a careful, stylistic choice or a technical/academic register. The sense conveyed is related to presenting or exhibiting in a plural, directive sense, typically modifying a noun that is grammatically in illative case.

Relation to related forms: Esittäviin is related to the base participle esittävä and to other inflected forms of the same adjective/participle. Other forms would include esittävä (basic present participle/adjective), esittäviä (partitive or ed-genitive plural forms), and the verb form esittää (to present).
