Kohonnut

Kohonnut is a Finnish adjective and past participle derived from the verb kohota, meaning to rise or to increase. It is used to describe something that has risen relative to a prior state and can function both attributively before a noun and predicatively in a sentence.

Grammatically, kohonnut works as a participial adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. It is common in both formal and everyday language to indicate elevated values, levels, or conditions, such as measurements, prices, or states that have become higher than before.

Common uses include health, economics, and science. Examples include kohonnut verenpaine (elevated blood pressure), kohonnut hintataso (rising price level), and kohonnut lämpötila (increased temperature). In medical contexts, partial phrases like kohonneet arvot or kohonnut kolesteroli are also encountered to describe elevated lab values or biomarkers.

The term is versatile and appears across diverse contexts to convey a change to a higher level. While kohonnut is the standard form, related expressions in Finnish may use different nouns or adjectives to describe similar increases. For language reference, kohottaa is the verb from which kohonnut is derived.
