Heijastettujen

Heijastettujen is a Finnish word-form that represents the genitive plural of the past passive participle heijastettu, from the verb heijastaa, meaning to reflect. In Finnish, participles can function as adjectives or nouns, and their endings change according to case, number, and the role of the word in the sentence. As a genitive plural form, heijastettujen is used to indicate possession or a relationship to multiple reflected items.

Grammatically, heijastettu is declined like an adjective. Its genitive plural form, heijastettujen, is typically paired with a head noun in the plural genitive or with a noun phrase such as kuvien, valojen, or kohteiden to express “of the reflected ones” or “the reflected ones’ …” Examples include phrases like heijastettujen kuvien laatu (the quality of the reflected images) or heijastettujen valoiden voimakkuus (the intensity of the reflected lights). The form can also appear in phrases where the head noun is absent but the meaning is clear from context, functioning as a substantive plural.

Usage context is broad and common in science, photography, optics, and art, where discussions involve light, imagery, or surfaces that produce reflections. It can describe physical reflections, as in metallin tai lasin heijastettujen pintojen ominaisuudet, or metaphorical reflections, as in muistoihin liittyvät heijastettujen kokemusten vaikutukset.
