Konjugoitua

Konjugoitua is a Finnish linguistic term meaning “conjugated” or “to be conjugated.” It is the passive past participle of the verb konjugoida (to conjugate) and is used as an adjective or predicative descriptor to indicate that something has undergone the process of conjugation. In practice, konjugoitua describes a verb form that has been generated through a specific conjugation paradigm, or a verb that has been conjugated.

As an adjective, konjugoitua agrees with the noun it modifies and can appear in various cases and numbers. Common usages include phrases such as konjugoitua verbi (a conjugated verb) or konjugoitua muoto (a conjugated form). In linguistic descriptions, the term helps distinguish between forms produced by conjugation and those that have not yet been inflected. The word is typically encountered in grammar books, language-learning materials, and discussions of verb morphology in Finnish.

Etymologically, the word combines the root konjugoi- from konjugoida with the participial suffix -ttua, forming a participial adjective that denotes a completed action relative to the noun it modifies. The concept is closely related to taivutus (inflection) and other grammatical processes involved in producing verb forms. While konjugoitua is most directly tied to verbs, it can also appear in discussions of sentences where tense, mood, or voice results in a particular conjugated form.
