Esitettyistä

Esitettyistä is a Finnish inflected form of the past passive participle esitetty, meaning “presented” or “shown.” It functions as an adjective or a substantive element and is the elative plural form, formed by attaching the suffix -istä to the plural stem of esitetty. The elative plural marks source or origin, roughly translating to “from the presented (ones)” or “of the presented (things).” In practice, esitettyistä refers to multiple items that have been presented previously, often in formal or written contexts.

Usage typically appears in phrases describing data, questions, items, or other elements that were introduced earlier. Common constructions include esitettyistä tiedoista (“from the presented data”) or esitettyistä kysymyksistä (“from the questions that were presented”). Such usage is frequent in academic papers, meeting minutes, reports, and legal or governmental documents, where a set of previously introduced elements needs to be referred to collectively.

Grammatical behavior: esitetty is declined like an adjective/participle, with esitettyistä functioning as the elative plural form. Other related forms include esitetty, esitetyt, esitettyjen, esitettyä, esitettyä, depending on number, case, and mood of the surrounding noun. The form is primarily used in written Finnish and in contexts that require precise reference to previously introduced material.

Notes: While esitettyistä shares a root with esittää (to present), it is not a standalone verb; it is a participial form used to describe or reference things that have already been presented. For non-specialists, replacing it with more neutral phrases like “esitetyt kohteet” or “esitettyihin tietoihin viittaavat tiedot” can convey similar meaning, depending on the sentence structure.
