Puhdistettuun

Puhdistettuun is a Finnish illative singular form of the past participle puhdistettu, meaning cleaned or purified. It functions as an adjective or participial modifier that describes a noun in illative case, typically indicating movement into or toward a state that has been cleaned.

Formation and morphology: The base form puhdistettu comes from the verb puhdistaa, meaning to clean or purify, plus the past participle ending -ttu. To create the illative form used before a noun, the illative suffix -uun is added, producing puhdistettuun. This combination reflects Finnish affixation rules, including vowel harmony and consonant sequences that occur when attaching the suffix to the participle stem.

Usage: Puhdistettuun is used when stating or asking about entering into a space or state that has been cleaned. Examples include phrases like puhdistettuun tilaan ("into the cleaned state") or puhdistettuun huoneeseen ("into the cleaned room"). In technical or procedural texts, the form helps specify that the destination or condition described has undergone cleaning or purification.

Notes: As an inflected form of a participle, puhdistettuun agrees with the associated noun in illative case and number. It may appear in various formal contexts, including maintenance, sanitation, and quality-control descriptions, where precise reference to the outcome of cleaning is needed. The base concept remains tied to the verb puhdistaa and its related noun puhdistus (cleaning, purification).
