Hyväksytyistä

Hyväksytyistä is a Finnish grammatical form: the elative plural of the past participle hyväksytty, derived from the verb hyväksyä, meaning to approve or to accept. It functions as an adjective-like form that describes items or persons that have received approval, and it is used together with a noun in the elative case.

In Finnish, participles that function as adjectives are declined to match the noun they modify. Therefore hyväksytyistä appears with nouns in the elative plural, indicating “from the approved [ones/items],” or more loosely, “of the approved.” The phrase is common in formal and administrative language to distinguish approved items from those that are not yet approved.

Common contexts include administrative, legal, procurement, and project management settings. Hyväksytyistä can modify documents, applications, proposals, candidates, or other items that have passed an approval stage. The form helps specify a subset within a larger set, typically in phrases such as from approved applications or from approved documents.

Related forms include: hyväksytyt (nominative plural, the approved ones), hyväksyttyjen (genitive plural), and other case forms like hyväksytyt hakemukset (the approved applications) or hyväksytyistä asiakirjoista (from the approved documents). While hyvksytyistä is the elative plural, other cases combine with the noun in standard Finnish declensions.

Etymology: hyväksytyistä is formed from the root hyväksytty with the elative plural ending -stä, aligned with the noun it accompanies. The term is a standard example of Finnish participial adjectives used in official discourse.
