Kehystetyn

Kehystetyn is the genitive singular form of the Finnish past participle kehystetty, meaning framed or put in a frame. It appears in noun phrases to indicate that a noun is in a frame or associated with a frame. The form is typically used to modify another noun in a genitive construction, for example kehystetyn kuvan hinta, meaning the price of the framed picture.

Etymology and grammar: kehystetty is derived from the verb kehystää (to frame), which comes from kehys (frame). In Finnish, adjectives and participles decline to agree with the nouns they modify. In the genitive singular, kehystetty becomes kehystetyn when used before a genitive noun such as kuvan or taulun. This relation is most easily seen in phrases like kehystetyn kuvan hinta or kehystetyn taulun kehys.

Usage: kehystetyn is common in contexts involving art, photography, and product descriptions where objects are described as framed. It is not typically used as a standalone noun; rather, it forms part of descriptive phrases that convey the framing status of an object (for example, a framed painting, a framed photograph, or a framed certificate).

See also: kehystää, kehys, kehystys. These related terms cover the act of framing, the physical frame, and the process of framing, providing the grammatical and semantic base for the use of kehystetyn in descriptive phrases.
