Käsitellyt

Käsitellyt is a Finnish adjective formed from the verb käsitellä, meaning to handle, process, or treat. It is the past passive participle and is used to describe matters, data, or materials that have undergone processing or handling. The form is most commonly used in plural noun phrases, for example käsitellyt aineet (the processed substances) or käsitellyt tiedot (the processed data).

Grammatical usage is straightforward: käsitelty is the singular past passive participle form, and käsitellyt is its plural nominative form. The participle functions as an attributive modifier that agrees with the noun in number (and, when applicable, case). It is commonly found before a noun, as in käsitellyt tiedot, but can also occur in predicate constructions with suitable Finnish syntax.

In context, käsitellyt is widely used in technical, scientific, and administrative language to indicate that something has already undergone processing, analysis, or treatment. For example, in data handling, one might refer to käsitellyt tiedot to mean data that have already been processed, cleaned, or transformed. The word can apply to a wide range of processed items, including documents, images, samples, or datasets.

Etymology: käsitellyt derives from the verb käsitellä with the past passive participle suffix -tty, yielding käsitelty in the singular and, through standard Finnish pluralization, käsitellyt in the plural. Related forms include käsitelty (singular past passive participle) and käsittely (process, processing). See also related terms such as käsittely.
