Linkitettyinä

Linkitettyinä is the plural essive form of the Finnish past passive participle linkitetty, derived from the verb linkittää (to link). The essive case expresses a temporary state or role, and the plural form indicates that the subject is plural. Therefore, linkitettyinä means “as linked (ones)” or “in a state of being linked” when referring to multiple items.

Morphology and usage context: The form is created by adding the plural essive suffix -inä (with vowel harmony) to the past passive participle linkitetty. This yields linkitettyinä, the form used when describing several linked items. In singular references, the corresponding form is linkitettynä (“as linked”). The plural essive is common in descriptive or technical language to state the condition or role of a group of objects.

Typical contexts include discussions of interconnected data, networks, or collections where multiple elements are linked to one another. It is frequently found in technical writing, database design, information architecture, and discussions of linked data, where the emphasis is on the state of the elements rather than on an action.

Examples:

- Kuvat ovat linkitettyinä toisiinsa. (The images are linked to one another.)

- Tiedostot ovat linkitettyinä toisiinsa ja ne muodostavat verkoston.

Etymology and related terms: linkitettyinä is formed from linkitetty plus the plural essive suffix -inä. Related concepts include the essive case in Finnish grammar, participial forms, and the broader idea of data linking or linking in information systems.
