välittämään

Välittömään is the illative singular form of the Finnish adjective välitön, meaning immediate or direct (without mediation). As an inflected adjective it is used to describe a noun and to indicate movement into or toward a state described by that adjective.

In practice, välittömään appears with nouns in the illative case. This combination conveys the sense of “into the immediate [state/condition]” or “toward the direct/urgent matter.” Examples include phrases such as välittömään vaikutukseen (into the immediate effect), välittömään tilaan (into the immediate state), and välittömään tarpeeseen (to the immediate need). The construction is common in formal, descriptive, or argumentative Finnish, including journalism, policy texts, and academic writing.

Välittömään is one form among many that Finnish adjectives take to agree with case and number. Adjectives decline like nouns, so other forms of välitön appear for genitive, partitive, adessive, illative, and so on (for example, välittömän, välittömässä, välittömässä, etc.). The illative form välittömään is specific to the illative case and is not interchangeable with the adverbial expression välittömästi, which means “immediately” and is more common in everyday speech.

In summary, välittömään is a grammatical inflection of the Finnish adjective välitön used with illative nouns to express movement toward or into an immediate or direct state, though in many everyday contexts speakers will prefer the adverb välittömästi for immediacy.
