Suorittaneet

Suorittaneet is a Finnish word belonging to grammatical form classes rather than a separate lexical item with a fixed translation. It is the plural form of the past active participle of the verb suorittaa, meaning to perform or to complete. As a participle it describes someone or something that has carried out an action, and it can function as an attributive modifier or as a substantive referring to people who have completed something.

In grammar, suorittaneet is the plural past active participle. The singular counterpart is suorittanut. The participle is non-finite and agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. It is commonly used in relative clauses or noun phrases, for example with a noun such as tutkinto or tehtävä: tutkinnon suorittaneet (those who have completed the degree) or suorittaneet tehtävät (completed tasks). It contrasts with the passive past participle suoritetettu, which means “has been completed” (by someone).

Usage examples illustrate its function. Tutkinnon suorittaneet saavat todistuksen. The participants who have completed the degree receive a certificate. Hankkeen suorittaneet osallistujat auttoivat järjestelyissä. The participants who carried out the project helped with the arrangements.

Suorittaneet is most common in formal or written Finnish, including administrative language, educational contexts, and compound expressions describing qualifications or completed actions. Related forms include the singular suorittanut and the passive suoritetettu; all are connected through the verb suorittaa.
