Valmistuneiden

Valmistuneiden is a Finnish grammatical form used in reference to people who have completed a course of study or training, i.e., graduates. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective-noun "valmistunut," which describes someone who has completed studies. While the nominative plural for graduates is "valmistuneet," the genitive plural "valmistuneiden" is used to indicate possession or a relationship to graduates, as in "valmistuneiden määrä" (the number of graduates) or "valmistuneiden työllistymisaste" (the employment rate of graduates).

In practice, valmistuneiden appears in statistics, reports, and academic writing. It functions as a possessive construction, similar to saying "the graduates’ ..." in English. It does not stand as an independent lexical item; rather, it is an inflected form of "valmistunut" used to modify nouns in genitive phrases.

Related terms include valmistunut (a graduate or completed), valmistuneet (the graduates, nominative plural), valmistuminen (the act of graduating), and valmistuneita (partitive plural). The form is common in official language and public discourse when discussing outcomes, backgrounds, or characteristics of those who have completed education.
