Morphology and usage overview: present active participles in Finnish behave as adjectives and decline like adjectives. They can precede a noun (attributive use) or function in predicative positions with a linking verb. In possessive constructions, the genitive form is chosen to reflect the noun they modify, for instance konvertoivan järjestelmän ominaisuudet or konvertoivaa järjestelmää. The participle conveys simultaneity or ongoing action, signaling that transforming activity is relevant to the described noun.

Examples:

- Konvertoiva järjestelmä on suunniteltu muuntamaan signaaleja. (A converting system designed to transform signals.)

- Konvertoivan järjestelmän suorituskyky on parantunut. (The performance of the converting system has improved.)
