Pyöristettyinä

Pyöristettyinä is a Finnish morphological form that conveys the idea “in a rounded form” or “rounded,” used to describe a state of more than one item. It is the essive plural form of the past participle pyöristetty (rounded). The essive case expresses a temporary state or role, and the plural ending -inä/-nä marks a reference to multiple elements; together they describe something that is in the state of having rounded features.

In usage, pyöristettyinä appears mainly in descriptive or technical contexts, such as design, manufacturing, or geometry, where corners, edges, or contours have been rounded. It often functions as a predicate or part of a compound description.

Examples:

- Kulmat ovat pyöristettyinä. (The corners are rounded.)

- Reunat pyöristettyinä antavat pehmeämmän ilmeen. (The edges, being rounded, give a softer appearance.)

Notes:

- The singular equivalents include pyöristetty (rounded) and pyöristettynä (in a rounded state); pyöristettyinä specifically targets a plural or collective context.

- The form is typical in technical writing, blueprints, design briefs, and UI/UX descriptions where consistent rounding of multiple elements is discussed.
