Toimittamien

Toimittamien is a Finnish grammatical form that appears as the genitive plural of the participle "toimittama." The verb behind it is "toimittaa," meaning to deliver, supply, or provide. In Finnish, participles can function as adjectives, and "toimittama" denotes something that has been supplied or provided by someone (often an editor, supplier, or publisher). The genitive plural form "toimittamien" is used in noun phrases to indicate that the items or materials were supplied by the implied agency.

The form is typically seen before a noun in the genitive context, for example: "toimittamien tuotteiden laatu" meaning "the quality of the products supplied" or "toimittamien artikkeleiden julkaisu" meaning "the publication of the articles supplied by the editors." In these constructions, "toimittamien" works as a modifier that ties the supplied items to their source.

Formation and relation to other forms: The base participle is "toimittama," which can take various case and number endings. When used to modify a plural noun in genitive, it appears as "toimittamien." This form is part of a broader system of participial adjectives in Finnish that can express agency and sourcing.

Usage notes: "Toimittamien" tends to occur in more formal or administrative/editorial writing, especially in contexts discussing content or goods provided by a specific party. In everyday language, speakers may opt for clearer phrases such as "toimitettujen tuotteiden" or other periphrastic expressions, depending on the nuance intended (whether emphasizing delivery, provision, or authorship).
