pienentymään

pienentymään is the third-person singular illative present active participle of the Finnish verb pienentyä. The verb pienentyä means to become smaller, to shrink, or to diminish. Therefore, pienentymään describes a state or action of "becoming smaller" or "shrinking" in a way that is directed towards something or into a state.

In Finnish grammar, the illative case indicates movement into or towards a location or state. The present active participle denotes an ongoing action performed by the subject.

For instance, it could be used in a sentence to describe something that is in the process of getting smaller, with the implication of moving towards that smaller state. The exact nuance depends on the context of the sentence in which it appears. It conveys a sense of ongoing reduction or shrinkage with a directional or resultant focus.
