Vähentyneissä

Vähentyneissä is a Finnish word that translates to "reduced" or "decreased" in English. It is the plural partitive form of the adjective vähentynyt, which itself is the past participle of the verb vähentyä, meaning to decrease or diminish. The word is used to describe a state where something has become less in quantity, intensity, or number.

For instance, one might speak of vähentyneissä määrin, meaning "in reduced quantities," or vähentyneessä tahdissa, "at a reduced pace." The term can be applied to a wide range of contexts, from economic indicators and population figures to physical sensations and levels of activity. It signifies a change from a previous, higher state to a lower one. The partitive case suggests that the reduction is ongoing or that a portion of something has been reduced, rather than the entire entity. Understanding vähentyneissä requires recognizing its role as a descriptive adjective indicating a state of lessening.
