Muodostetussa

Muodostetussa is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the inessive singular of the past participle muodostettu, which comes from the verb muodostaa meaning to form or to construct. As a participial adjective, muodostettu describes something that has been formed or constructed. The inessive form is used to indicate a state resulting from formation and agreements with the head noun in number and case.

In usage, muodostettu functions mainly in noun phrases to state that a thing is in the condition of being formed or constructed. It is common in contexts such as technical descriptions, engineering reports, and linguistic or academic writing, where processes and results are discussed as states of objects or systems. The form can modify nouns in singular or plural to reflect the relevant case endings.

Examples of the form in sentences include phrases like “muodostetussa tilassa” (in the formed state) and “muodostetussa rakennuksessa” (in the constructed building). These illustrate how the inessive form locates the described state in space or context, similar to saying “in the formed/constructed X” in English.

Related forms include muodostatut as the past participle in plural forms, and muun muassa muodostettu, which serves as the base participle form, with various inflected endings to match case, number, and definiteness. Muodostetussa thus functions as a precise linguistic tool for describing the state of things after a formation or construction process within Finnish grammar.
