Ajastettujen

Ajastettujen is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the genitive plural of the adjective ajastettu, meaning “timed” or “scheduled.” It is used to modify a plural noun in genitive, as in the expression ajastettujen tapahtumien aikataulu, which translates to “the schedule of the scheduled events.” The form reflects how Finnish adjectives agree with the noun they describe in number and case.

Etymology and meaning: ajastettu is derived from the verb ajastaa, meaning to time, set to occur at a specific moment, or schedule. The participial adjective describes something that has been arranged to occur at a designated time or sequence.

Morphology: Like other Finnish adjectives, ajastettu inflects to agree with the noun it modifies. Examples include ajastettu (singular), ajastetut (nominative plural), ajastettujen (genitive plural), and ajastettuja (partitive plural). The form ajastettujen is used when the head noun is in the genitive plural or when the entire phrase is part of a genitive construction.

Usage: Ajastettujen appears primarily in formal or technical contexts, such as event planning, information technology, and administrative text, where items are described as having been scheduled. It typically precedes a noun in a phrase like ajastettujen tehtävien tai ajastettujen ilmoitusten, meaning “of the scheduled tasks” or “scheduled notifications.”

Examples:

- Meidän ajastettujen tapahtumien aikataulu on julkaistu.

- Ajastettujen ilmoitusten hallinta vaatii oikeudet.

Notes: ajastettujen is not a standalone verb form; it is the genitive plural adjective form used to describe a plural, genitive noun. Related terms include ajastettu (timed/scheduled as a base form) and ajastaa (to time/schedule).
