Hyllyttämää is a Finnish term that describes the act of shelving or putting things away onto shelves. It encompasses the physical action of placing items in their designated storage locations, typically in a systematic and organized manner. This can apply to a wide range of situations, from tidying a home and organizing books to managing inventory in a retail environment or a library. The core concept involves arranging objects on shelves for easy access, visual appeal, or efficient storage.

The word itself is derived from "hylly," meaning shelf. The suffix "-ttämää" indicates a transitive verb, suggesting an action performed upon something.
