virittyviä

Virittyviä is the partitive plural form of the present active participle virittyvä in Finnish. The base verb virittyä generally means to become attuned, prepared, energized, or tuned in, and the participle virittyvä describes something that is in the process of becoming such. As a participle used like an adjective, virittyvä can modify nouns, and virittyviä signals the form used when the head noun is plural and in the partitive case.

In usage, virittyviä typically appears in descriptive or technical contexts where ongoing attunement or responsiveness is being emphasized. The sense depends on the head noun: in music or acoustics it can refer to sounds or instruments that are being tuned; in electronics it can describe signals or systems that are being adjusted; in psychology or social contexts it may denote aspects or factors that are being prepared or made ready for a task.

Grammatically, virittyviä functions as an adjective with the same grammatical features as other present active participles in Finnish. It agrees in number (plural) and takes the partitive case on the head noun, for example virittyviä ilmaisumuotoja or virittyviä signaaleja, depending on the intended meaning and the sentence structure. The form contrasts with virittyvät (nominative plural) used for subjects or predicative positions, and with virittyvä (singular) when referring to a single item.

Related terms include viritys (tuning/adjustment), virittyminen (becoming attuned), and virittyvä käyttö (attuned or responsive use).
