Orientoituneissa

Orientoituneissa is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as an inflected adjective phrase rather than a standalone concept. It is the inessive plural form of the participial adjective orientoitunut, meaning “oriented.” The form is used to describe groups, entities, or contexts in which the subjects have been oriented toward a particular aim, orientation, or stance.

In practical terms, orientoituneissa typically appears in formal or academic text to specify where the orientation applies. For example, it can refer to groups that have been oriented toward specific goals, to organizations oriented toward a strategy, or to research samples categorized by their orientation. The form highlights the orientation as a characteristic of the plural subjects, not as an action performed by them at the moment of speaking.

- Base adjective: orientoitunut (oriented)

- Plural inessive form: orientoituneissa (in the oriented ones)

- Related forms include orientoituneita (partitive, plural) and orientoituminen (orientation as a noun)
