Ohjelmoidun

Ohjelmoidun is a Finnish grammatical form of the verb ohjelmoida, meaning to program. It is the genitive singular form of the past passive participle used to describe a noun that has undergone programming. The base participle is ohjelmoitu, meaning programmed, and when it is declined to agree with a noun in genitive singular, it appears as ohjelmoidun.

In practice, ohjelmoidun functions as an attributive participle within noun phrases. It indicates that the described object has been programmed and thus forms a genitive (possessive) relationship with the head noun. For example, in the phrase ohjelmoidun laitteen turvaominaisuudet, the word ohjelmoidun marks the relationship to laitteen and translates to the security features of the programmed device. The form is primarily encountered in technical writing, manuals, and descriptive prose about software and hardware.
