Päivitettyjen

Päivitettyjen is a Finnish inflected form of the past participle päivitetty, derived from the verb päivittää, meaning to update or refresh. As a participial adjective, päivitetty describes something that has undergone an update. The form päivitettyjen specifically marks genitive plural, used to modify a plural noun in genitive case (for example, “päivitettyjen ohjelmistojen” = “of updated software”). In Finnish, participles agree with the noun they modify in number and case, so päivitettyjen appears when the head noun is plural and in genitive.

Usage and function: päivitettyjen functions as a modifier within noun phrases, indicating that the items have already been updated. It is common in technical, IT, and administrative contexts, especially in lists, inventories, and release or maintenance documents. The form is not a standalone noun; it is part of a larger expression that identifies updated items, programs, files, or systems.

Common collocations: päivitettyjen ohjelmistojen, päivitettyjen tiedostojen, päivitettyjen järjestelmien. Other possible head nouns include ohjelmat, tiedostot, järjestelmät, ja versiot, all in genitive plural when paired with päivitettyjen.

Examples:

- Esimerkki: päivitettyjen ohjelmistojen asennus on suoritettu. Translation: The installation of the updated software has been completed.

- Esimerkki: päivitettyjen tiedostojen hallinta kuuluu IT-osastolle. Translation: The management of the updated files belongs to the IT department.
