Jätetyt

Jätetyt is a Finnish adjective form meaning "left behind" or "abandoned." It is the plural past passive participle of the verb jättää (to leave). In Finnish, the singular form jätetty describes a singular noun (for example, jätetty esine "left-behind item"), while the plural form jätetyt describes plural nouns (e.g., jätetyt esineet, "left-behind items").

The form jätetyt is used attributively, preceding a plural noun, to indicate that the objects have been left somewhere or by someone. It conveys a passive, completed action without specifying the agent. It is not typically used as a stand-alone noun.

Common contexts include descriptions of scenes, reports, or narratives involving items that have been abandoned or forgotten, such as in archaeology, crime scene documentation, or disaster response, as well as everyday situations like finding left-behind belongings.

Examples: Jätetyt esineet löytyivät kellarin nurkasta. The left-behind items were found in the basement corner. Jätetyt tavarat olivat pöydällä. The abandoned goods were on the table.
