Pysäköity

Pysäköity is a Finnish word formed as the past passive participle of the verb pysäköidä, meaning to park. It is used as an adjective to describe something that has already been parked, most commonly a vehicle. The form conveys a state resulting from a completed action, rather than the act of parking itself.

In everyday usage pysäköity typically describes objects left in a parking position, for example a car, bicycle or other movable item. It can appear in simple phrases such as pysäköity auto or pysäköity polkupyörä, and it may also be used in sentences that state a parking status, for instance Auto on pysäköity kadun varteen. The word is common in descriptive language, accident or incident reports, and in discussions about parking status.

Grammatically pysäköity is an adjective that agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. Examples: pysäköity auto (nominative singular), pysäköidyn auton (genitive singular), pysäköityä autoa (partitive singular); pysäköidyt autot (nominative plural). When used predicatively, the structure remains simple: Auto on pysäköity.

Etymology and relation to related terms: pysäköity derives from the verb pysäköidä, whose noun form is pysäköinti (parking). The term is distinct from other adjectives referring to parking status and is primarily employed to indicate that a parking action has occurred and its result is a parked item.
