Muodostett

Muodostett is not a standard Finnish dictionary entry. In most Finnish usage it does not stand alone as a separate word. Instead, it is encountered as a stem in grammatical analysis of the verb muodostaa (to form). The common past passive participle of muodostaa is muodostettu, which is built from the participial stem muodostet- plus the suffix -tu. Thus muodostet- is the stem that appears in inflected forms such as muodostettuna (in a formed state), muodostettujen (of the formed ones), and muodostettujen ryhmien (of the formed groups).

In Finnish morphology, a stem like muodostet- is used across various endings to generate full forms. The presence of erilaiset ending-johdokset (different endings) allows the word to function in adjective-like, participial, or nominal contexts without changing the underlying stem. The form muodostettu itself conveys a completed action, while muodosta- forms appear in related derivatives such as muodostettava (to be formed) or muodostettavuus (formability).

Usage notes: muotodstet- or muodostettu is not typically listed as a separate entry in standard Finnish dictionaries; rather, it is relevant mainly for linguistic analysis, parsing, and teaching about verb a-forms and participles. In ordinary prose, speakers use muodostettu or forms derived from muoto- for phrases like muodostettujen tuotteiden määrä (the quantity of formed products) or muodostettuna, depending on syntactic requirements.
