lähettämää

Lähettämä is a Finnish noun derived from the verb lähettää, meaning “to send”. It denotes an object or message that has been sent, functioning similarly to the English noun “dispatch” or “sent item”. In Finnish grammar, lähettämä is formed by adding the suffix -mä to the verb stem, a common method for creating nominalisations that refer to the result or product of an action. The word is countable and can be used with numerical modifiers, e.g., “kaksi lähettämä” (two sent items).

The term appears in both everyday language and specialized contexts. In postal and courier services, lähettämä may refer to parcels, letters, or electronic communications that have been dispatched. In information technology, it can describe data packets or messages transmitted over a network. Legal and administrative documents sometimes employ lähettämä when referencing materials that have been officially forwarded to another party.

Lähettämä follows typical Finnish noun declension patterns, taking case endings for grammatical functions such as nominative, genitive, partitive, and others. For example, the genitive form is lähettämän, and the partitive is lähettämää. Its usage reflects the broader Finnish linguistic practice of deriving concrete nouns from verb roots to convey specific aspects of actions and their outcomes.
