Kiteytyneiden

Kiteytyneiden is a Finnish participial adjective derived from the verb kiteytyä (to crystallize) and the past participle kiteytynyt. It describes substances or materials that have crystallized or possess a crystalline structure. In scientific Finnish it is used to denote a state or quality arising from crystallization and is common in fields such as chemistry, geology, and materials science.

Etymology and morphology: The base noun kide means “crystal.” From the verb kiteytyä the participle kiteytynyt is formed, and the ending -neiden marks the genitive plural, yielding kiteytyneiden to express “of the crystallized” or “crystallized (those).” It is not a proper noun and is usually used attributively, often in noun phrases like kiteytyneiden aineiden ominaisuudet (properties of crystallized substances).

Usage and examples: The term appears in academic writing and descriptions of crystallization processes. Example: kiteytyneiden aineiden pitoisuus tutkimuksessa muuttuu lämpötilan function of conditions. Translation: “the concentration of crystallized substances changes under changing conditions.” Another example: kiteytyneiden mineraalien rakenne määrittää niiden mekaaniset ominaisuudet. Translation: “the structure of crystallized minerals determines their mechanical properties.”
