Päivitetyissä

Päivitetyissä is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as an adjective meaning “updated.” It is the inessive plural form of the past passive participle derived from the verb päivittää, “to update.” In practice, päivitetyissä is used to describe nouns in the inessive case that have been updated, for example in phrases like päivitetyissä dokumenteissa or päivitetyissä ohjelmistoissa, meaning “in the updated documents” or “in the updated software.”

The form appears in contexts where speakers want to specify that a set of items has already undergone an update. It is common in technical, administrative, and documentation language, especially when referring to groups of files, documents, software, or datasets that now contain changes, corrections, or new information.

Usage notes:

- Päivitetyissä is typically followed by a noun in the inessive plural (in Finnish, indicating location or state “in/within the updated Xs”).

- It is used attributively to modify the noun (as an adjective), and can also appear in prepositional phrases such as “päivitetyissä tiedostoissa” (“in the updated files”).

- For a generic, non-noun usage, other forms such as päivitety, päivitettyä, or päivitetty voivat be used depending on the syntactic position.

Examples:

- Suomenkielinen: Päivitetyissä dokumenteissa on uusia ohjeita. (In the updated documents there are new instructions.)

- English gloss: In the updated documents there are new instructions.

- Suomeksi: Päivitetyissä ohjelmistoissa on parannettu turvallisuutta. (In the updated software there are security improvements.)
