sisällyttÄÄ

Sisällyttää is a Finnish transitive verb meaning to include or incorporate something into a larger whole. It denotes the act of placing an element inside another object, such as a text, a plan, a recipe, or a product, so that it becomes a part of the whole.

In usage, sisällyttää is common in formal and written Finnish. It contrasts with sisältyä, which means to be included in something, and with sisältää, which means to contain. Examples: "Raportti sisällyttää taulukon." "Koulutusohjelma sisällyttää uusia moduuleja opetussuunnitelmaan." The choice between synonyms depends on nuance; sisällyttää emphasizes the action of adding as part of the whole, while sisältää more often describes a current state of being composed of parts.

Forms and related terms include the noun sisällyttäminen (the act of including) and participles such as sisällytetty (included) and sisällyttävä (including). The word is used across domains, including publishing, education, product design, and policy documents.

Etymology is tied to the broader family around inside-related roots and the common Finnish -ttää suffix that marks causative or transitive action. It is related to sisältyä (to be included) and sisältää (to contain), which share the semantic field of inclusion and content.
