Pienennetyistä

Pienennetyistä is a Finnish inflected form of the past passive participle pienennetty, derived from the verb pienentää, meaning to reduce or downscale. The form is used to refer to multiple items that have been made smaller or scaled down, and it commonly appears with a following noun in a relative or dependent construction. In practice, pienennetyistä translates roughly to “the reduced ones” or “from the reduced [items],” depending on the syntactic role in the clause.

Morphology and usage

The root pienent- carries the meaning “to reduce,” and the participle suffix -etty marks a completed, passive action (reduced). The ending -istä (in many contexts) signals a case form that links the participle to a plural noun in phrases describing a subset or source, such as images, files, or forms. Pienennetyistä is therefore used when discussing a group of objects that have undergone downscaling, often in technical or data-related contexts.

Common contexts

- In digital imaging and printing: pienennetyistä kuvista or pienennetyistä kuvista voidaan todeta, that is, from the downscaled images.

- In data processing or document handling: pienennetyistä tiedostoista or pienennetyistä versioista, referring to downsized files or versions.

- In maps, figures, or diagrams: pienennetyistä kartoista or pienennetyistä kaavioista to indicate elements that have been reduced in size.
