keräytyy

Keräytyy is a Finnish verb form meaning "gathers" or "converges." It is the present tense, third-person singular form of the intransitive verb keräntyä, which denotes the act of people or things coming together, forming a crowd or group. The sense is commonly used for crowds assembling around a location, an event, or a situation, or for things gradually accumulating in a given context.

Usage of keräytyy tends to occur with collective or singular-noun subjects such as joukko, väki, yleisö, ryhmä, or osanottajat, and it is typically used in active voice to describe an ongoing gathering or coming together. The expression often conveys a natural or gradual formation rather than a formal act.

Example: Joukko keräytyy torin ympärille.

Etymology and related forms: Keräytyy derives from the root kerätä (to collect) via keräntyä, indicating togetherness or assembly. Related words include kerätä (to collect), keräys (collection), and keräntyä (to gather/assemble), which share the same semantic core but differ in aspect and usage.
