Suoritettuja

Suoritettuja is a Finnish form of the past passive participle suoritettu, which comes from the verb suorittaa, meaning to perform or to complete. The form is used as an adjective in the plural and in the partitive case to describe nouns that have been completed or carried out.

Morphology and usage notes: In Finnish, participles and adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case. Suoritettuja appears with plural nouns in the partitive case, as in suoritettuja tehtäviä (completed tasks), suoritettuja kokeita (completed experiments), or suoritettuja toimenpiteitä (completed procedures). Other related forms include suoritettujen töiden (genitive plural of the participle) and suoritettu (singular nominative/accusative). The choice of case depends on the grammatical role of the noun in the sentence.

Usage context: Suoritettuja is common in formal writing, such as academic reports, administrative documents, and summaries that describe actions or results. It emphasizes that a task or process has reached completion, rather than detailing the quality or method of completion. In everyday language, speakers may use simpler expressions such as tehty or valmiiksi tehty, but suoritettuja is preferred when a precise, formal description is desired.

Examples:

- Suoritettuja tehtäviä on runsaasti kurssilla. (There are many completed tasks in the course.)

- Kokeet on suoritettu ja tulokset julkaistaan pian. (The exams have been completed and the results will be published soon.)

- Suoritettuja toimenpiteitä oli useita viranomaisen raportissa. (There were several completed procedures in the authority’s report.)

Etymology and related terms: suoritettuja derives from suorittaa, with the past passive participle suffix -ttu, forming a word that functions as an adjective describing completed actions. Related forms include suoritettu, suoritettuja töitä, and suoritettujen töiden.
