Kehitettyjä

Kehitettyjä is a Finnish word formed as the plural partitive form of the past passive participle kehitetty, which derives from the verb kehittää (“to develop”). As an attributive participle, kehitettyjä describes nouns that have undergone development and thus denote “developed” items. The form is used in contexts where the noun is in partitive case or in indefinite quantity.

In Finnish, participles used as adjectives change according to number, case, and definiteness. The basic forms related to kehitetty are: kehitetty (singular nominative), kehitettyä (singular partitive), kehitetyt (plural nominative), kehitettyjä (plural partitive). The genitive plural form kehitettyjen is used when the noun is in genitive, as in kehitettyjen ohjelmien ominaisuudet (“the features of the developed programs”).

Common usage occurs in technical, scientific, and business language, where outputs, products, methods, or solutions have been developed. For example, kehitettyjä ohjelmia means “developed programs,” kehitettyjä ratkaisuja means “developed solutions,” and kehitettyjen tuotteiden means “of the developed products.” The form emphasizes that development work has been completed on the described items.
