täsmäytyä

Täsmäytyä is a Finnish verb that translates to "to match," "to align," or "to coincide" in English. It is often used in contexts where two or more things are brought into agreement or harmony. The verb implies a process of adjustment or verification to ensure that elements correspond accurately.

In a practical sense, täsmäytyä can refer to aligning physical objects. For example, one might täsmäyttää two pieces of wood before joining them, ensuring their edges are flush. It can also be used in a more abstract sense, such as when checking if data entries täsmäytyvät with a source document. This involves a comparison and correction to achieve accuracy.

The concept extends to scheduling and planning. If two events täsmäytyvät, it means they occur at the same time or in a way that is convenient for both. In finance, täsmäytyä is frequently used to describe the process of reconciling bank statements with accounting records. This ensures that all transactions are accounted for and that the balances match. The root of the word is "täsmä," meaning "exact" or "precise," which highlights the core meaning of achieving exact correspondence.
