tyhjenn

Tyhjenn is not a standalone Finnish word in most contexts; it is the stem used in the conjugation of the verb tyhjentää, which means to empty, drain, or clear. The dictionary form is tyhjentää, while tyhjennä is the imperative form used to tell someone to empty. The stem tyhjenn- appears in the present tense: minä tyhjennän, sinä tyhjennät, hän tyhjentää, me tyhjennämme, te tyhjennätte, he tyhjentävät. The passive present is tyhjennetään. The noun tyhjennys denotes the act or process of emptying, or the state of being emptied, as in astian tyhjennys (emptying of a container) or varaston tyhjennys (clearing out a storage).

The verb covers physical acts such as removing contents from a container, draining liquids, or making space empty, and it is also used figuratively to mean depleting resources or clearing schedules. Etymology traces tyhjentää to the adjective tyhjä (empty) with the common verbal suffixes -ent- and -ää, a typical pattern in Finnish verb formation. The form tyhjenn by itself is not a separate dictionary entry; it functions as a stem within various inflected forms of tyhjentää.
