Mukautettujen

Mukautetut is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb mukauttaa, meaning to adapt, adjust, or tailor. The base participle mukautettu describes something that has been adjusted or customized. Mukautettujen is the genitive plural form of this participle, used to indicate possession or relation in phrases such as mukautettujen tilojen suunnittelu or mukautettujen ohjelmistojen käyttö. In practice, mukautettujen appears in noun phrases where the thing being described is plural and in genitive case, for example “mukautettujen tilojen suunnittelu” (the design of adapted facilities) or “mukautettujen ohjelmistojen käyttöönotto” (the adoption of customized software).

Usage notes and examples: the word is commonly found in contexts related to accessibility, customization, and accommodation. It can refer to products, services, environments, or needs that have been adjusted to suit a particular user group. While mukautettu functions as an adjective, mukautettujen behaves as a genitive plural form within larger noun phrases, rather than as a standalone noun. For instance, “mukautettujen tuotteiden hyväksyntä” means the approval of customized products; “mukautettujen henkilöiden tarpeet” means the needs of the adapted people. The term is more prevalent in formal or technical language, such as policy documents, design briefs, and academic writing, than in everyday speech.

Etymology: mukautettu comes from mukauttaa, with the participle suffix -ttu. Its inflected forms include mukautetut (nominative plural) and mukautettujen (genitive plural).
