Merkittyillä

Merkittyillä is a Finnish grammatical form: it is the plural adessive form of the past participle merkitty, meaning “marked” or “tagged.” In Finnish, merkitä means “to mark,” and merkitty describes something that has been marked. When the noun being described is plural and in the adessive case, the adjective takes the form merkittyillä.

The form is used to indicate the location or state of marked items. For example, merkittyillä laatikoilla means “on the marked boxes,” and merkittyillä tuotteilla means “with the marked products.” In practice, merkittyillä often appears in contexts such as labeling, inventory, storage, or data annotation, where items have received tags, identifiers, or other markers.

Grammatical notes: merkittyillä is the plural adessive of merkitty. Finnish adjectives agree in number and case with their nouns, so the adjective takes the adessive plural ending to match a plural noun in that case. For a singular noun in the adessive, the corresponding form would be merkittyllä. The related forms include merkitty (masculine/feminine singular) and merkittyjä (partitive or genitive plural, depending on construction).

Usage and scope: merkittyillä is primarily a descriptive, not a sole lexical item. It appears in written Finnish when specifying the state or positioning of items that have been marked, tagged, or labeled in a concrete setting or data context. It is generally neutral and technical in tone, appropriate for inventories, instructions, or documentation.
