Tallentaneet

Tallentaneet is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb tallentaa, meaning to record, save, or store. It is the plural perfect-active participle (perfekti-partisiippi) and is used to describe someone or a group that has completed the action of recording. In practice, tallentaneet can function as an adjective or as a nominalized phrase referring to those who have performed the recording.

In usage, tallentaneet typically appears in written Finnish to attach a descriptive sense to a noun phrase. It can describe people, works, or actions tied to recording or saving data. For example, the phrase tallentaneet henkilöt means “the people who have recorded,” and a sentence such as Tämän projektin tallentaneet henkilöt ovat palkittuja translates to “The people who recorded this project have been rewarded.” The form thus serves to link a past action to a present description.

The form is part of a broader system of Finnish participles formed from tallentaa. Related forms include tallentanut (singular perfect) and other participial variants used with different numbers and cases. The verb tallentaa itself covers several senses, including audio or video recording and general data saving or storage, and tallentaneet inherits those meanings in its descriptive function.

Etymologically, tallentaneet is built from tallentaa plus the suffix -neet, which marks the perfect-active participle in the plural. The word is common in linguistic discussions of Finnish grammar and in contexts dealing with media production, archiving, and data management.
