päättämien

Päättämien is a Finnish word that is not part of standard vocabulary in contemporary Finnish usage. In most contexts it is not recognized as a common lexical item, and when it appears it is generally discussed as a potential inflectional form rather than as a separate, widely used term. Normative Finnish typically expresses related meanings with forms derived from the verb päättää (to decide) or with the noun pärt, such as päätös (decision) and its inflections.

In grammar, päättämien is often treated as an inflected form linked to a deverbal noun or participle built from the verb päättää. However, in standard Finnish the ordinary and widely attested inflections for related meanings are different—most notably the plural noun päätökset (decisions) and its genitive plural päätösten, or the partitive/other cases of phrases involving the act of deciding (päättäminen). Because päättämien does not have a stable, broadly accepted role in normative Finnish, its appearance is usually described as nonstandard, dialectal, or potentially a misspelling or misanalysis of a more common form.

Usage guidance common in Finnish grammar sources is to prefer standard expressions such as päätökset, päätösten, or to rephrase into a structure that uses päättäminen or other established nouns, depending on the intended meaning. If a text contains päättämien, it is typically advisable to replace it with the corresponding standard form to ensure clarity and grammatical correctness.
