liittyvästä

liittyvästä is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective liittyvä, meaning related or pertaining to. The adjective liittyvä derives from the verb liittyä, “to relate” or “to be connected,” and it is formed with the present participle suffix -vä, giving the sense of “relating” or “connected.” As a descriptive word, liittyvä describes how a noun is connected to or relevant to something else.

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case. When the noun is in the elative case, the adjective takes the corresponding elative ending, yielding liittyvästä. For example, liittyvästä asiasta means “about the related matter” or “in regard to the related matter.” The same base adjective can appear in nominative, genitive, partitive, and other cases (liittyvä, liittyvän, liittyvää, etc.), depending on the noun’s case and number.

Usage of liittyvä is common in formal, academic, and technical writing, where it signals a relation or relevance to another topic, issue, or element. It can be placed before a noun (liittyvä ongelma, related problem) or used in phrases with a specified case, as in liittyvästä aiheesta (about the related topic). The term emphasizes connection rather than ownership or equivalence, indicating that something is connected to or pertinent to something else within the given context.
