Muodostettuina

Muodostettuina is a Finnish word that functions as a non-finite form describing a state. It is the plural form of the past passive participle muodaste ttu? No, formed as muodostettu, combined with a plural essive construction to mean “as formed” or “in the formed state” for multiple items. In other words, it marks that several items have been formed or arranged in a particular way and are being described in that formed condition.

In Finnish grammar, muodo stettuina is used primarily in formal or linguistic contexts rather than in everyday speech. It appears in dictionaries, grammars, or documents that enumerate configurations, structures, or classifications after they have been created. The form is typically used adjectivally or adverbially to modify nouns in plural, indicating their state as a result of formation.

Usage notes:

- The form is most common in written, descriptive, or technical language rather than casual conversation.

- It often occurs in lists or explanations that compare different formed configurations or groupings.

- Because it is a specialized grammatical construction, it can be unfamiliar to learners and may require consulting a Finnish grammar resource for precise morpho-syntactic details.

Etymology and related forms:

- Derived from the verb muodostaa (to form, to constitute) through the past passive participle muodostettu, plus a plural essive-like ending to express “as formed” for multiple items.

- Related forms include muodostettu (singular “formed”) and other participial and essive constructions used to describe states resulting from formation.
