Muuttuneilla

Muuttuneilla is a Finnish grammatical form deriving from the past participle muuttunut, meaning “changed” or “having changed.” It is the plural adessive form of that participle and is used to describe plural nouns in the adessive case, indicating a state, condition, or circumstances that pertain to those nouns. In practice, muuttuneilla can be translated roughly as “the changed ones” or “those who have changed,” depending on the context.

Use and function:

- Attributive or descriptive use with a plural noun in the adessive: for example, muuttuneilla ehdoilla means “under changed conditions,” and muuttuneilla ihmisillä means “among the changed people” or “the people who have changed.”

- It highlights the state or conditions associated with the subject rather than merely noting that change has occurred.

- It can contrast with forms such as muuttuneet (plural nominative “the changed ones”) when the subject is in the nominative case rather than in the adessive.

Differences and notes:

- Muuttuneilla is a specific inflected form, not a separate lexeme; it should agree in number and case with the noun it accompanies.

- The more neutral, common way to refer to people who have changed is often muuttuneet ihmiset, but muuttuneilla is appropriate when the adessive sense of location or circumstance is intended (e.g., “with changed rules” → muuttuneilla säännöillä).
