sisällyttävien

Sisällyttävien is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as a genitive plural of the present active participle sisällyttävä, derived from the verb sisällyttää meaning “to include” or “to enclose.” As a participial adjective, sisällyttävä describes nouns by indicating that they include or contain certain elements. The form sisällyttävien specifically marks the genitive plural, and is used in noun phrases where the head noun is modified by a description of what the included elements are.

Usage and function: sisällyttävien is commonly found in formal or technical Finnish, such as legal, regulatory, or academic texts. It appears in phrases that specify components or conditions that are to be included in something else. For example, sopimukseen sisältyvien ehtojen täsmällinen kuvaus or sopimukseen sisällyttävien ominaisuuksien luettelo can be rendered more plainly as “a precise description of the terms to be included in the contract” or “a list of the features to be included in the contract.” The construction typically links a head noun in a broader noun phrase with a genitive plural modifier.

Relation to related forms: sisällyttävien contrasts with forms like sisällyttävä (the base present active participle, singular) and with sisältyvän or sisältyvät (other participial or verbal forms related to inclusion). The choice of form depends on the number, case, and syntactic role of the head noun in the noun phrase.

Etymology: formed from sisällyttää plus the adjectival suffix -ttävä, with the genitive plural ending -ien.
