Asennetut

Asennetut is the plural past passive participle of the Finnish verb asentaa, meaning to install. It functions as an adjective used to describe things that have undergone the installation process. In technical and everyday Finnish, asennetut modifies nouns such as ohjelmat (programs), ajurit (drivers), and laitteet (devices) to indicate they have been installed. For example, asennetut ohjelmistopäivitykset means installed software updates, and asennetut ajurit means installed drivers.

The form is part of Finnish participle morphology. The singular past passive is asennettu, while the plural nominative is asennetut. Asennetut is primarily used attributively before a noun (for example, asennetut laitteet). It can appear in a variety of IT and hardware contexts, including product manuals, system inventories, and configuration notes, where there is a need to distinguish installed items from those not yet installed or removed.

In usage, asennetut conveys a completed installation status rather than ongoing action. It pairs naturally with nouns describing software, hardware, or configurations and is commonly contrasted with phrases indicating non-installation or removal. Related terms include asentaminen and asennus (the act or process of installing) and asennettu (the singular form of the past passive participle).
