rekisteröitymään

Rekisteröitymään is a non-finite verb form in Finnish derived from rekisteröityä, meaning to register or enroll. It is the -mään form that appears in certain grammatical constructions to express an intended or possible action in the sense of “to become registered” or “to sign up.” In everyday language the common form for the basic action is rekisteröityä, but rekisteröitymään occurs in specific syntactic contexts and registers.

Usage and contexts

Rekisteröitymään is typically found in formal or instructional language, where non-finite verb forms are used to indicate purpose, intention, or a subordinate action within a sentence. It can appear in policy texts, legal wording, and user manuals where the focus is on the process of joining, enrolling, or becoming part of a registry or system. The form may also be encountered in clauses that describe steps or conditions under which someone is to become registered.

Relation to related forms

The infinitive rekisteröityä is the more common form for simply saying “to register.” Rekisteröitymään is a different non-finite form often associated with expressions of intention or potential action, and it should be distinguished from other non-finite forms such as the first infinitive rekisteröityä or the noun rekisteröinti. In practical use, which form appears depends on the grammatical construction and the formality of the text.
