Tyhjennettyyn

Tyhjennettyyn is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the illative singular of the past passive participle tyhjennetty, meaning emptied. It is used to describe a noun that is in the illative case and has the property of being emptied, such as a place or container into which something has been emptied.

Morphology and use: tyhjennettyyn is formed from the participle tyhjennetty (emptied) with the illative suffix -yn, which marks direction or movement into a place or state. When modifying a noun in illative, the adjective and the noun both appear in the illative, for example tyhjennettyyn varastoon (into the emptied warehouse) or tyhjennettyyn tilaan (into an emptied state). The construction emphasizes that the destination or target is characterized by emptiness.

Typical contexts: tyhjennettyyn is common in descriptive or formal writing, logistical descriptions, or narratives that specify movement into a space that has already been emptied of contents. It may appear in sentences describing evacuation, inventory work, or changes of space where emptiness is a defining feature.

Examples:

- Siirryimme tyhjennettyyn varastoon etsimään vanhoja asiakirjoja. (We moved into the emptied warehouse to search for old documents.)

- Tyhjennettyyn tilaan on siirretty kaikki kalusteet. (All the furniture has been moved into the emptied room/state.)
