Erotettujen

Erotettujen is a Finnish word form that functions as a genitive plural of the past participle erottettu, meaning “separated” or “detached.” The base participle erottettu is formed from the verb erottaa, “to separate,” with the typical past participle suffix -ttu. When declined for genitive plural, it becomes erotettujen, used to indicate ownership or relation to a group that has been separated. In practice, erotettujen behaves like an adjective in a possessive construction, but it can also stand in a noun-like role within a phrase such as “erotettujen osien” (of the separated parts).

Grammatical notes:

- Root: erott- (from erottaa)

- Participle: erottettu (separated)

- Genitive plural form: erotettujen

- Usage: commonly appears in technical, legal, administrative, and logistical texts, but may appear in general language when describing a group that has undergone separation

- Agreement: as a participle used adjectivally, it agrees in number with the noun it modifies and takes the genitive plural when used in possessive constructions

Usage notes:

- Erotettujen is used to denote a set or group that has been separated from another. It often occurs in compound expressions related to sorting, processing, or categorization of items or people.

- Common contexts include phrases like erotettujen osien kierrätys (the recycling of separated parts) or erotettujen ryhmien oikeudet (the rights of the separated groups).
