Laajennettu

Laajennettu is a Finnish adjective meaning expanded or extended. It is the past passive participle of the verb laajentaa and is formed with the suffix -ettu. The root laaja means wide or broad, so laajennettu conveys that something has been widened, broadened, or augmented compared with a previous state.

Usage in Finnish is common for describing versions, tools, or concepts that have been enhanced beyond an initial form. Typical expressions include laajennettu versio (an extended version), laajennettu ohjelmisto (an expanded software package), and laajennettu todellisuus (augmented reality). The term can also modify nouns referring to schedules, analyses, studies, or constructions that have been extended, such as laajennettu aikataulu or laajennettu tutkimus.

In technology and media, laajennettu is frequently used to signal improvements or additional features compared with a baseline. It can denote physical expansion, for example laajennettu rakennus, as well as conceptual or functional expansion in research or product design. The word is commonly contrasted with lyhennetty (shortened) or supistettu (restricted).
