Rakennetujen

Rakennetujen is the genitive plural form of the past passive participle rakennettu, which comes from the verb rakentaa meaning to build. In Finnish, participles can function as adjectives and nouns, and their forms agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. Rakennetut means “the built (ones)” in the nominative plural, while rakennetujen is used in genitive plural to indicate a relationship or possession by the built entities.

The typical use of rakennetujen is in noun phrases describing attributes of built objects. It appears when the phrase is within a larger construction that requires the genitive case, for example rakennetujen talojen arvo (the value of the constructed houses) or rakennetujen rakennusten energiatehokkuus (the energy efficiency of the built buildings). The form helps specify what is being discussed, often in contexts such as real estate reports, architectural descriptions, or urban planning texts.

In practical terms, rakennetujen signals that the noun it modifies belongs to or is associated with the built environment. It should be distinguished from rakennetut, which is the nominative plural form used when the subject is simply “the built ones.” The word is common in contemporary Finnish discourse about housing, infrastructure, and development, where precise attribution to the built environment is important.
