Ajoitettujen

Ajoitettujen is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the genitive plural of the past passive participle ajoitettu, which conveys the sense that something has been timed, scheduled, or set according to a plan. As a participial adjective, ajoitettujen describes nouns and appears in noun phrases to indicate that the described items have undergone a scheduling or timing process.

Morphology and use

Ajoitettu functions as an adjective that modifies a following noun, and its ending changes to agree with the noun it describes in number and case. In the genitive plural, the form is ajoitettujen, used when referring to multiple items that have been scheduled or timed. For example, the phrase ajoitettujen tapahtumien lista translates to “the list of scheduled events.” Similarly, ajoitettujen ohjelmien määrä means “the number of scheduled programs.” The form is typical in formal or written Finnish, especially in contexts involving schedules, time settings, or planned activities.

Context and nuance

Ajoitettujen emphasizes that the timing or scheduling has already occurred, as opposed to ongoing or future scheduling. It is related conceptually to other Finnish forms dealing with timing and planning, such as ajoitus (timing) or ajastaminen (timer-based scheduling). In practice, ajoitettujen appears most often in technical, logistical, or organizational writing.
