Vietettyjen

Vietettyjen is a Finnish form derived from the verb viettää, meaning to spend (time) or to celebrate/observe. It is the genitive plural form of the past passive participle vietetty, which functions as an adjective meaning “spent” or “celebrated.”

In Finnish, past participles used as adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. When the head noun is plural and in genitive case, the participle takes the genitive plural ending, yielding vietettyjen. This form is most common in formal or written contexts, and it appears in noun phrases such as vietettyjen juhlien järjestelykulut (“the organizing costs of the celebrated parties”) or vietettyjen vuosien muistot (“the memories of the spent/celebrated years”).

Usage notes: vietettyjen is not a stand-alone lexical item; it serves as a grammatical inflection. It is less common in everyday speech, where speakers might choose simpler constructions or different word orders. The form is primarily encountered in written Finnish, in contexts like official reports, literary prose, or linguistic examples that illustrate Finnish participle agreement and genitive structures.
