Säätelemien

Säätelemien is a Finnish inflected form, the genitive plural of a -ma/-mä nominalization derived from the verb säädellä (to regulate). As a grammatical form it typically indicates possession or association and is used to qualify a following noun: the phrase säätelemien asioiden would mean "of the matters regulated" or "of the regulated matters."

Morphology and formation: the base verb säädellä yields a participial noun with the suffix -ma/-mä (säätelemä), which denotes a result or object of an action. The regular plural nominative ends in -t (säätelemät) while the genitive plural uses the ending -ien (säätelemien). This pattern is common for agent/result nominalizations formed with -ma/-mä in Finnish.

Usage and register: säätelemien appears most often in written and formal language, for example in legal, administrative or technical contexts where actions and their regulated objects are discussed. It functions attributively (modifying another noun) or in genitive constructions to express relationships like "those belonging to" or "those defined by" the regulating action.

Related forms include säätelemä (nominative singular), säätelemät (nominative plural) and säätelemän (genitive singular). Context and agreement with the governed noun determine the correct inflection in a sentence.
