Jäähdytetyn

Jäähdytetyn is a grammatical form in Finnish referring to something that has been cooled or refrigerated. It is the genitive singular form of the past participle jäähdytetty, which comes from the verb jäähdyttää meaning to cool or refrigerate. The form jäähdytetyn is used to describe a noun in a possessive or relational sense, equivalent to “of the cooled” or “of the refrigerated” in English.

In usage, jäähdytetyn typically appears in noun phrases that specify the state of a thing after cooling. It is commonly found in contexts such as food labeling, recipes, and quality control, where the condition “cooled” or “refrigerated” is relevant for safety, storage, or preparation. The word can be inflected further to agree with the noun it describes, for example jäähdytetyn ruoan (the cooled food) or jäähdytetyn tuotteen (the refrigerated product).

Examples of usage include statements about safety and storage, such as the importance of handling jäähdytetyn elintarvikkeen properly or monitoring the shelf life of jäähdytetyn tuotteen according to guidelines. The term is primarily a descriptive, state-based modifier and is not a standalone noun with independent meaning.
