Muotoiltujen

Muotoiltujen is a Finnish grammatical form of the past participle muotoiltu, formed from the verb muotoilla, meaning to shape, form or format. In Finnish, past participles that function as adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify. Muotoiltujen represents the genitive plural form, typically used before a noun in genitive or within a phrase describing multiple items that have been formatted or designed.

In practice, muotoiltujen is most commonly encountered in written Finnish when referring to several formatted items. For example, muotoiltujen tekstien määrä means “the number of formatted texts,” and muotoiltujen rivien ulkonäkö refers to the appearance of the formatted lines. The form conveys that the items have undergone formatting or shaping as part of a design or data presentation process.

Relation and usage notes: muotoilla is the base verb meaning to shape, design, or format. The related noun muotoilu denotes design or formatting as a discipline or process, and muotoilija refers to a designer or formatter. Muotoiltujen functions similarly to other adjectival participle forms in Finnish, changing to reflect case and number of the head noun it modifies.

See also: muotoilu, muotoilla, muotoillut, muotoiltu. The term is linguistic and grammatical in nature and does not usually stand alone as a content term outside of a noun phrase describing formatted items.
