käynnistyviä

Käynnistyviä is a Finnish present active participle form meaning "starting up" or "in the process of starting up." It is the partitive plural form of the present active participle käynnistyvä and is used to modify nouns in contexts where the referenced noun appears in the partitive case or when the reference is indefinite or plural. In Finnish, participles can function as adjectives, so käynnistyviä describes things that are currently beginning their startup, boot sequence, or initiation.

Common usage occurs in technical, IT, and operational texts to characterize items that are in the act of starting. Examples include käynnistyviä ohjelmia (programs that are starting up), käynnistyviä palveluita (services that are starting up), and käynnistyviä prosesseja (processes that are starting). The corresponding singular form is käynnistyvä, and the nounized form for the process of starting is käynnistyminen.

In translation, käynnistyviä carries the nuance of ongoing action rather than a completed startup. It contrasts with forms like käynnistetty (started) or käynnistyneitä (started in the past or modified by a different grammatical construction), depending on the context and case.

Note: as with other Finnish participles, the exact form (including partitive vs. nominative) depends on the grammatical role of the modified noun within the sentence.
