Hyväksyttyjä

Hyväksyttyjä is the partitive plural form of the Finnish past passive participle hyvaksytty, derived from the verb hyväksyä, meaning to approve or to accept. In Finnish grammar, hyvätksettty describes something that has been approved, and when used with a noun in the partitive case, it becomes hyviäksyttyjä to indicate “approved ones” or “approved items” in an indefinite quantity. The form is commonly seen in official or formal language, where the object of a sentence is in the partitive.

Grammatically, hyviäksyttyjä serves as a nominalized participle functioning as an adjective-noun combination. The base participle hyvksytty declines like an adjective, with hyviäksytyttyjä representing the plural partitive form. The corresponding nominative plural form is hyvksytyt, used when referring to all the approved ones as a subject.

Usage and context: Hyväksyttyjä is frequent in administrative, legal, grant, procurement, and organizational documents to refer to items, proposals, or applications that have received approval. It typically appears with another noun in the partitive, for example, hyvksyttyjä hakemuksia (approved applications) or hyvksyttyjä ehdotuksia (approved proposals). It contrasts with hyvksytyt (the approved ones, as a subject) and with other forms like hyvksyttyjen (genitive plural) depending on grammatical role.

Notes: In everyday speech, speakers may opt for hyvksytyt when the context allows, but hyaksyttyjä remains standard in contexts requiring partitive.
