Syötettyihin

Syötettyihin is a Finnish inflected form derived from the verb syöttää, meaning to feed. It is the illative plural form of the past passive participle syötetty, i.e., “fed.” In use, syötettyihin functions as an adjective phrase that modifies a plural noun in the illative case, indicating direction toward a group that has been fed. An example is syötettyihin eläimiin, which translates roughly as “into the animals that have been fed.”

Usage of syötettyihin is specialized and most common in written, technical Finnish, such as agricultural, veterinary, or logistics contexts. It appears when a speaker wants to specify that the action or object applies to the recipients that have already received food.

Formation and agreement considerations: the base form is syötetty, and the illative plural suffix -iin is added to produce syötettyihin. The noun being modified must itself be in illative plural to maintain proper grammatical alignment, for example eläimiin.

Example sentence: Rehu annettiin syötettyihin eläimiin. This illustrates the intended meaning of the phrase structure, with the feed directed to the group of animals that have already been fed.
