Lyhennettyä

Lyhennettyä is Finnish form used to describe something that has been shortened. It is the past passive participle of the verb lyhentää and functions as an adjective in nominal phrases. The form lyhennettyä appears in the partitive singular, for example lyhennettyä versiota, lyhennettyä tekstiä or lyhennettyä ohjelmaa, meaning "a shortened version of," "shortened text," or "shortened program."

Lyhentää means to shorten or abbreviate; lyhennetty describes the result of this action. It is common in publishing, administration, media, and everyday language whenever conciseness or brevity is emphasized. In journalistic or official contexts you will often find phrases like lyhennetty versio raportista or lyhennettyä ohjetta.

Examples: "Tässä on lyhennettyä versiota raportista." "Lehden julkaisussa on lyhennettyä tekstiä." "Televisio esittää lyhennettyä ohjelmaa." In formal Finnish, the form is chosen to suit the case of the noun it complements.

Note: lyhennettyä is a grammatical form rather than a separate concept, and should be distinguished from lyhentynyt or lyhentyä, which refer to the process or state of becoming shorter.
