Yksinkertaistettuina

Yksinkertaistettuina is a Finnish word that functions as the essive plural form of the past participle adjective yksinkertaistettu, meaning "simplified" or "made simpler." It conveys the idea of items, concepts or representations being in a simplified state, often translated into English as "as simplified (ones)" or "in simplified form" when referring to multiple objects or instances.

Morphologically, the term derives from the verb yksinkertaistaa ("to simplify"), with the past participle yksinkertaistettu and the essive plural ending -ina/-ina used to indicate a state or role ("as ..."). In usage it frequently appears in technical, academic and descriptive contexts where models, diagrams, explanations or systems are presented after reduction of detail: for example, "järjestelmät esitetään yksinkertaistettuina malleina" (the systems are presented as simplified models).

The word signals an intentional reduction of complexity for clarity, analysis or communication, and it can carry neutral, pragmatic or cautionary connotations depending on context — neutral when indicating abstraction, cautionary when implying loss of detail. Related forms include yksinkertaistaa (infinitive), yksinkertaistettu (singular participle/adjective) and yksinkertaistettuna (essive singular). Usage notes emphasize matching number and case with the noun modified and recognizing that "yksinkertaistettuina" implies multiple items are being considered in their simplified condition.
