Jakautuneena

Jakautuneena is a Finnish adverbial participle form of the verb jakautua, meaning to divide or split. The form denotes a state that results from division, roughly translating to “divided” or “in a divided state.” It is used to describe systems, structures, or arrangements that have been partitioned into parts or sections, often in formal or descriptive writing.

Grammatically, jakautuneena functions as an adverbial participle and can modify the subject or describe the condition of something. It is typically combined with a phrase specifying the division, for example jakautuneena kolmeen osaan (divided into three parts) or jakautuneena useisiin alueisiin (divided into several regions). In everyday Finnish, similar meanings are often conveyed with forms like jaettu or jaottunut, but jakautuneena is common in technical or formal contexts.

Examples of usage include: Järjestelmä on jakautuneena kolmeen pääosaan. (The system is divided into three main parts.) Suunnitelma on jakautuneena useisiin vaiheisiin. (The plan is divided into several stages.) Kanta on jakautuneena useisiin alatyyppeihin. (The strain is divided into several subtypes.)

Notes: In common speech, more frequent constructions are typically jaettu kolmeen osaan or jaottunut kolmeen osaan, depending on nuance. Jakautuneena emphasizes a descriptive, state-based view of partitioning, often appearing in technical, analytical, or formal prose.
