As a participial adjective, sijoitettujen describes entities that have been placed or invested, functioning in sentences much like other passive participles. The form is commonly used to refer to a group of people or objects that have undergone the action of being placed or invested, and it is typically found in noun phrases such as sijoitettujen määrä (the number of those who have been placed) or sijoitettujen ryhmä (the group of those who have been placed).

In usage, sijoitetettu identifies a completed state relative to the noun it modifies. It can indicate physical placement (for example, items arranged in a location) or financial or organizational investment, depending on context. The term is most often encountered in formal or administrative prose, such as reports, statistics, or policy documents, where it helps specify the subset of a larger group that has undergone the placing or investing action.

Etymology and related forms: sijoitettujen derives from sijoitettu, the past participle of sijoittaa. Related forms include sijoitetut (nominative plural, “the placed”) and sijoittaminen (the act of placing or investing).
