Asennettuihin

Asennettuihin is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the past passive participle asennettu, meaning installed. It is the illative plural form of this participle, used to describe multiple nouns that are the target or object of installation in contexts expressed with the illative case (into, toward). In practice, asennettuihin functions like an adjective in its own right, but it always accompanies a plural noun in illative case.

Formation and meaning: starting from asennettu (installed), the stem is asennettu-. Adding the illative plural ending -iin yields asennettuihin. The form reflects both number (plural) and case (illative), so it appears most naturally in phrases where the action or state of being installed is directed toward or applied to several items. Because Finnish illative marks direction or destination, asennettuihin is commonly found with nouns such as laitteisiin (devices), järjestelmiin (systems), or ohjelmistoihin (software).

Usage: Asennettuihin is not a standalone noun; it is a case-inflected modifier that points to what has been installed and often to what is the focus of procedures, requirements, or analyses. It is frequent in technical, legal, or procurement texts, where several items or components are discussed in terms of their installed state.

Examples:

- Asennettuihin laitteisiin liittyvät päivitykset on suoritettava säännöllisesti.

- Asennettuihin ohjelmistoihin kohdistuvat korjaukset on testattava ennen käyttöönottoa.
