Pakattujen

Pakattujen is a Finnish grammatical form, not a standalone concept. It is the genitive plural form of the past passive participle pakattu, which means “packed.” In Finnish, adjectives and participles that function as modifiers decline to agree with the nouns they describe. When the noun is plural and in the genitive case within a phrase such as “of packed X,” the modifier appears as pakattujen.

Usage and meaning

Pakattujen is used to indicate that the nouns it modifies are in a packed or packaged state. It commonly appears in contexts such as logistics, inventory, and product descriptions, where quantities are discussed in relation to items that have been packed for shipping or storage. The construction often forms phrases like pakattujen tuotteiden määrä (“the amount of packaged products”) or pakattujen tavaroiden tila (“the condition of the packed goods”).

Formation notes

The base form pakattu is formed from the verb pakata (to pack) with the past passive participle suffix -ttu. The genitive plural ending -en, combined with the plural noun, yields pakattujen as the modifier in phrases referring to multiple packed items. This inflection reflects Finnish grammar’s system of modifying nouns with inflected adjectives or participles.

Examples

- pakattujen tuotteiden määrä

- pakattujen ruokien säilyvyysaika
