Määritetyistä

Määritetyistä is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb määrittää, meaning to define or specify. As a past participle, määritetty corresponds to “defined” or “specified.” The ending -istä marks a plural, and the form is used when referring to multiple defined items in a grammatical context where the phrase is part of a larger noun phrase, typically expressing “of the defined” or “from the defined.”

Grammatical note: Finnish participles behave like adjectives and agree with the noun they modify in number and case. Määritettyä, määritettyä, määritetyt, and related forms can appear in different cases, with määritetyistä serving a plural form appropriate to certain grammatical constructions. The exact case function (genitive, partitive, etc.) depends on the sentence and the nouns involved. In practice, määritetyistä often appears in formal, technical, or legal Finnish, where a set of terms, parameters, or conditions has been defined.

Usage and context: The form is common in documentation, standards, specifications, and contracts. It can denote items that have been defined in advance or conditions that are specified for a process. Examples include phrases like määritetyistä ehdoista (from the defined terms/conditions) or määritettyjen arvojen lista (the list of the defined values). Because it is a participial adjective, määritetyistä tends to appear in written Finnish and formal speech rather than everyday conversation.
