tallentumaan

Tallentumaan is a Finnish verb form that denotes the intransitive process of information or objects becoming stored or saved, typically within a system or archive. It is related to tallentua, meaning to be saved or recorded, and to tallentaa, meaning to save or record something intentionally. In practice, tallentumaan is used mainly in technical writing to describe automatic or inherent data storage, rather than deliberate human action.

In usage, tallentumaan appears in formal contexts such as IT, data management, and archival work. The main present tense form of the intransitive verb is tallentuu, while the past tense is tallentui. The infinitive tallentumaan marks the act of becoming stored and is often listed in dictionaries to illustrate the verb family. Related nouns include tallennus (saving or recording) and tallennusprosessi (the process of saving or recording).

Examples:

- Tiedot tallentuvat pilvipalveluun. (The data are saved to the cloud automatically.)

- Tässä ohjelmassa on asetuksia, jotka vaikuttavat tallentumisen nopeuteen. (This program has settings that affect the speed of saving/recording.)
