luettelemassa

Luettelemassa is a Finnish word that translates to "listing" or "enumerating" in English. It is the inessive plural of the present participle of the verb luetella, which means to list or enumerate. The word is used when someone is in the process of making a list or going through items one by one.

For example, one might say "Hän on luettelemassa nimiä" which means "He is listing names." The context of the sentence would indicate whether the person is actively writing down the names or verbally going through them. The inessive case, indicated by the "-ssa/-ssä" ending, signifies that the action is taking place within a certain state or during a process.

The word "luettelemassa" emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action. It's not just about the completed list, but the act of creating or reciting it. It can be used in various contexts, from formal situations like listing inventory to informal ones like recounting a series of events. The plural form suggests that the action is being performed by multiple individuals, or that the focus is on multiple items being listed.
