Saatujen

Saatujen is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as a past passive participle meaning "received" or "obtained." In its genitive plural form saatujen, it acts as an adjectival modifier within noun phrases to refer to items or experiences that have already been received by someone. For example, in the phrase saatujen palkintojen arvo, both saatujen and palkintojen are in genitive plural, and the meaning is “the value of the prizes that have been received.” Similarly, saatujen kokemusten perusteella means “based on the experiences that have been obtained/received.” The form is common in formal, administrative, and academic prose, where participles are used to bundle information about actions that precede the main clause.

Morphology and usage: Saatu is the past passive participle of the verb saada. The derivation allows saatujen to agree in number and case with the head noun, here in genitive plural. The construction is not a verbal tense but a descriptive modifier that indicates a completed action relative to the reference noun.

Notes: Saatujen is not used as a standalone verb and is not typical in everyday casual speech, but it appears in written Finnish, official reports, and legal texts. See also: Finnish grammar, participles, genitive case, and compound noun phrases.
