Tallennettuina

Tallennettuina is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb tallentaa, meaning to record or save. It represents the plural essive form of the past passive participle tallennettu, and it conveys the sense of “as recorded” or “in the state of having been recorded” when referring to multiple items.

In usage, tallennettuina occurs mainly in formal, descriptive, or archival language. It is used to describe a collection, group, or set of items that are described as having been recorded or stored. The form is relatively rare in everyday speech, where other constructions such as tallennettuna (singular, “as recorded”) or other phrasing would typically be preferred.

The standard plural counterpart can be contrasted with tallennettuna, which marks a singular reference in the same essive sense. Tallennettuina thus functions as the plural analog, aligning with Finnish patterns where participial forms are inflected to agree with the number of the nouns they modify.

Etymologically, tallennettuina combines the past passive participle tallennettu with the plural essive-like ending that marks a state or role for multiple items. This makes tallennettuina a specialized, though valid, option for describing plural data, documents, media, or other records in a state of being recorded.
