Tuottanut

Tuottanut is a Finnish verbal participle form derived from the verb tuottaa, meaning to produce or yield. It is the perfect (past) active participle, and it conveys that the subject has produced something or has resulted in a certain outcome. In practice it is used with auxiliary verbs to form compound tenses and as a participial modifier.

The form is created from the stem tuotta- of tuottaa, with the suffix -nut, yielding tuottanut. As a participle it is not a finite verb by itself; its tense is established when it appears with a auxiliary like on (has produced) or oli (had produced). The participle can also function attributively, describing a noun within a sentence.

In usage, tuottanut most commonly appears in sentences describing outcomes or results. For example: Yritys on tuottanut voittoa. (The company has produced a profit.) Se on tuottanut odotetut tulokset. (It has produced the expected results.) It may also appear in past-perfect context: Yritys oli tuottanut huomattavan määrän voittoa ennen toimintojen kääntymistä. (The company had produced a substantial amount of profit before the turn of events.)

Notes: tuottanut is the active participle form and should not be confused with the simple past tuotti, which is the finite past tense. The participle can be used with different auxiliary verbs to form various perfect tenses, and it can appear in clauses as a descriptive or explanatory phrase. Related forms include tuottaa (to produce) and tuotto (yield, production).
