lähettämien

Lähettämien is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as a genitive plural modifier. It is derived from the verb lähettää (to send) and is linked to the nominalized form lähettäminen meaning “the act of sending.” The word appears in attributive phrases to indicate that something has been sent or relates to messages, items, or instructions that were sent.

In use, lähettämien is most common in formal, written Finnish—especially in administrative, legal, or archival contexts—where it accompanies a noun in the genitive case to specify the subset of items associated with sending. For example, in phrases such as lähettämien ohjeiden mukaan (according to the instructions that were sent) or lähettämien asiakirjojen luovutus (the handing over of the documents that were sent), the form conveys that the referenced items have already been dispatched.

Morphologically, lähettämien is the genitive plural form tied to the noun derived from the verb lähettää through the -minen nominalization, and it is used to describe multiple sent items or instructions. It is part of a broader family of Finnish noun phrases formed from verbs with -minen, which commonly appear in official or technical language.
