lievennyttäväksi

lievennyttäväksi is a Finnish word that translates to "to be alleviated" or "to be lessened" in English. It is the illative plural form of the verb lievittyä, which means "to become milder," "to ease," or "to subside." The word is typically used to describe a reduction in pain, suffering, or intensity of something negative.

For instance, one might say "Hänen kivut lievennyttäväksi" which translates to "His pains are to be alleviated." This suggests a hope or a process by which discomfort is reduced. Similarly, it can be applied to situations or conditions, such as "Taudin oireet lievennyttäväksi," meaning "The symptoms of the disease are to be lessened."

The grammatical structure of lievennyttäväksi indicates a passive voice and a plural subject, implying that multiple things are experiencing or undergoing this alleviation. The illative case in Finnish often signifies movement into a place or state, so in this context, it suggests a transition into a state of being lessened or eased. The word is a formal and somewhat archaic expression, often found in older texts or more literary contexts, rather than in everyday colloquial speech.
