siirryyttäessäsi

Siirryyttäessäsi is a Finnish non-finite verb form derived from the verb siirtyä, meaning to move, shift, or transfer. It functions as an adverbial participle that introduces a subordinate clause describing what happens at the same time as the action of the main clause. In practice, the meaning is roughly “as you move” or “while you transition,” with the subject of the subordinate clause being the listener or reader.

Morphology and formation are typical of Finnish participial constructions that attach a second-person possessive suffix. The form combines the verb stem siirty- with a participial ending and the second-person suffix -si, signaling that the action is performed by “you.” The exact temporal reading (whether ongoing or preceding) depends on context and the main clause of the sentence. The construction is especially common in written Finnish, including instructional, descriptive, and formal prose.

Usage guidance and examples: A typical sentence is Siirryttäessäsi uuteen järjestykseen seuraa ohjeita, which translates as “As you transition to the new arrangement, follow the instructions.” This form can add a formal or instructional tone and is often found in manuals, guidelines, or other contexts where steps are described in relation to the reader’s actions. It is generally avoided in informal speech, where siirtyessäsi might be preferred.

Relation to similar forms: Siirryttäessäsi (without the extra -tty- element) is a closely related form expressing the same basic idea of a concurrent action, but siirryttäessäsi may be more common in everyday language, while siirryyttäessäsi can appear in more formal or technical texts.
