Paritettuja

Paritettuja is the plural partitive form of the Finnish participial adjective paritettu, meaning "paired" or "matched." It is used to describe objects or samples that have been paired or matched, often in experimental, statistical, or logistical contexts.

In Finnish grammar, paritettuja functions as an attributive modifier accompanying a noun in the partitive plural. Typical usages include paritettuja näytteitä ("paired samples") and paritettuja tuotteita ("paired products"). The term signals that the items are considered as pairs rather than individually, for example for comparison, matching in studies, or synchronized handling.

Paritettu derives from pari ("pair") plus the past passive participle suffix -tettu, yielding a meaning of "paired." The form paritettuja receives the partitive plural ending used with nouns in the partitive, such as näytteitä or tuotteita.

Examples: Tutkimuksessa käytettiin paritettuja näytteitä. Kaikki paritettuja tuotteita tarkastettiin ennen lähettämistä.
