Tallennetuista

Tallennetuista is a Finnish grammatical form used to describe plural nouns in the elative case. It is the elative plural form of the past participle tallennettu, which means saved or recorded. In practice, tallennetuista functions as an adjective phrase meaning “from the saved/recorded ones” or “of the saved items.” It is typically used in contexts discussing material that has been saved, archived, or stored.

Morphology and usage

The base form tallennettu comes from the verb tallentaa (to save or record). To form the elative plural, the participle is combined with the -ista/-istä ending, yielding tallennetuista. This form modifies a plural noun and appears in phrases such as tallennetuista tiedostoista (from the saved files), tallennetuista videoista (from the saved videos), or tallennetuista viesteistä (from the saved messages). The structure is common in technical, archival, and data-management contexts, as well as in journalism or documentation when referring to material that has already been saved or stored.

Tallennetuista appears primarily in written Finnish when pointing to sources or materials that originate from saved items. For example:
