Yhdistettyjen

Yhdistettyjen is a Finnish word-form used in grammar to indicate the genitive plural of the adjective or past participle yhdistetty, meaning “combined” or “joined.” In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case, so the form yhdistettyjen appears when the noun is plural and in the genitive case. It functions solely as a modifier within noun phrases and is not typically used as a stand-alone noun.

Etymology and morphology: yhdistetty originates from the verb yhdistää, “to combine.” Its past passive participle form yhdistetty carries the sense of something that has been united or merged. The genitive plural ending -jen creates yhdistettyjen, which precedes the genitive plural noun it describes, as in yhdistettyjen tietojoukkojen (of the combined datasets) or yhdistettyjen projektien (of the combined projects).

Usage: yhdistettyjen occurs in formal or technical Finnish, especially in contexts involving data integration, research, or organizational mergers. Common phrases include yhdistettyjen tietojoukkojen analyysi (analysis of the combined datasets), yhdistettyjen projektien hallinta (management of the combined projects), and yhdistettyjen aineistojen käyttö (use of the combined materials). It remains a grammatical form rather than a lexical item with a separate meaning beyond “of the combined/joined ones.”
