löytyvissä

Löytyvissä is a Finnish word that functions as a past passive participle in the inessive case. It literally translates to "being found" or "in the state of being found." While it can be used in a straightforward manner to indicate something that is currently discoverable or has been located, its usage often implies a degree of availability or accessibility.

For example, one might say "Tieto on löytyvissä verkosta," meaning "The information is available on the internet." Here, "löytyvissä" suggests that the information is not hidden or inaccessible, but rather can be found with relative ease. It carries a nuance of being present and obtainable.

The word is formed from the verb "löytyä," which means "to be found" or "to be discovered." The "-ssä" ending is the inessive case suffix, indicating location or state of being within something. Therefore, "löytyvissä" places the action of being found within a context of current existence or accessibility.

It is important to distinguish "löytyvissä" from the active past participle "löytynyt" (found). While "löytynyt" refers to the act of finding something, "löytyvissä" describes the state of being found or the possibility of finding something. This subtle difference is crucial for accurate comprehension in Finnish.
