tiivistyi

Tiivistyi is a Finnish verb form, the third-person singular past tense of tiivistyä. It denotes that something has become condensed, denser, or more tightly compacted. The sense applies to physical processes as well as to abstract or figurative ones, such as ideas, arguments, or structures becoming more concise or coherently organized.

In usage, tiivistyi appears in contexts ranging from science to everyday language. In science and meteorology, it can describe condensation, for example a gas tiivistyi nesteeksi (condensing into a liquid). In more abstract terms, a discussion or data set can tiivisty, meaning it becomes more focused or encapsulated into a clear conclusion or compact form. The related nouns tiivistyminen and tiivistys refer to condensation or compression, while the adjective tiivi means dense or compact, and tiiviisti means densely.

Etymology and related forms: tiivistyi comes from tiivistyä, with the common Finnish productive root tiivi- meaning dense or compact, combined with the reflexive and intransitive suffixes. The language also uses tiivistys for the act of condensation or compression, and tiivistynyt as a past participle adjective meaning condensed.
