työntävän

"Työntävän" is a Finnish word that functions as the genitive case of the present active participle of the verb "työntää," which means "to push." In essence, "työntävän" translates to "of pushing" or "the pushing one's." Its grammatical function is to indicate possession or to describe something related to the act of pushing. For example, in a sentence, "työntävän voiman" would mean "the force of pushing" or "the pushing force." The participle itself describes an ongoing action of pushing.

This form is used when the "pusher" or the act of pushing is being possessed by something else, or when it modifies a noun. For instance, one might refer to the "työntävän suunta" meaning "the direction of pushing." The present active participle in Finnish is a versatile form that can function adjectivally or as a noun, and its genitive case, "työntävän," inherits these capabilities while also marking it for possessive or modifying relationships. Understanding the context of the sentence is crucial to correctly interpreting the precise meaning of "työntävän."
