rakentuvina

Rakentuvina is a Finnish grammatical form used to Express that something is in the process of being built or that actors are in the role of builders. It is not a standalone lexical item but the plural essive form of the present active participle rakentuva, meaning “building” or “constructing.” The suffix -ina/-inä attaches to the participle to indicate a state or role in plural.

In usage, rakentuvina appears mainly in written Finnish, especially in technical or formal descriptions, to describe objects or groups that are currently under construction. For example, the phrase rakennukset rakentuvina olevat translates loosely to “the buildings that are under construction.” The form can modify nouns in predicative or attributive positions and is part of the broader system of Finnish participial and case endings.

Etymology and function: The form combines the base rakentuva with the essive plural suffix -ina/-inä, signaling “in the state of construction” for multiple items. It is particularly common in contexts that aim to describe ongoing development, construction projects, or phases of growth.
