Suorittaman

Suorittaman is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb suorittaa, meaning to perform, carry out, or accomplish. In linguistic terms, suorittaman is used in noun phrases as a modifier in the genitive singular that refers to a participial adjective form related to a past or completed action. It commonly appears in formal, written, or legal Finnish rather than in everyday speech.

In practice, suorittaman occurs in complex noun phrases that describe something associated with an action that has been performed or that is to be performed. The form is part of a broader system of participial adjectives built from verbs, which Finnish uses to create detailed descriptive expressions. Because Finnish grammar favors more neutral or contemporary alternatives in many contexts, suorittaman is less prominent in modern colloquial language.

Usage notes:

- The more commonly encountered modern equivalent in everyday Finnish is the passive participial form suorittettavan or the past passive form suoritetun, depending on the intended nuance and case.

- Suorittaman tends to appear primarily in written or formal text, particularly in legal, administrative, or methodological writing, where precise description of actions and their relation to objects is important.

- Its interpretation often centers on a relationship to a noun that follows in the phrase, typically in a genitive construction such as suorittaman tehtävän or suorittaman työn, meaning “of the task/work that has been performed.”
