Mitattujen

Mitattujen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish past passive participle mitattu, meaning measured. In Finnish, past participles can function as adjectives, and when they modify a plural noun in a genitive construction, they take forms like mitattujen. The usage signals that the described nouns have undergone measurement and are being discussed in relation to those measurements.

Morphology and formation: The base verb is mitata, “to measure.” The past participle mitattu becomes mitattujen when used with plural nouns in genitive contexts (for example, mitattujen arvojen or mitattujen tulosten). This form is characteristic of how Finnish adjectives formed from participles agree with the noun phrase they modify in number and case. It is not a standalone noun, but a modifier describing something related to measurement.

Usage and examples: Mitattujen is common in scientific, statistical, and analytical writing. It appears in phrases such as mitattujen arvojen epävarmuus (the uncertainty of the measured values), mitattujen tulosten analyysi (the analysis of the measured results), and mitattujen tietojen perusteella (based on the measured data). The exact nouns following mitattujen are usually in genitive form (arvojen, tulosten, tietojen) to express possession or relation to the measurements.

Notes: The form mitattujen is a grammatical tool rather than a standalone lexical item; its meaning is derived from the verb mitata and the noun it accompanies. It is most often encountered in formal or technical Finnish.
