aloitettuja

Aloitettuja is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb aloittaa, meaning "to start" or "to initiate." It is the partitive plural form of the past passive participle aloitetttu/aloitettu (commonly written as aloitettu), and is used to describe multiple objects or activities that have been started or initiated.

As a partitive plural, aloitettuja is used in contexts expressing an indefinite quantity, ongoingness, or incomplete action. It commonly appears attributively before nouns (aloitettuja projekteja — "started projects") and in quantitative or reportive contexts (Aloitettuja rakennushankkeita on kymmenen — "There are ten construction projects that have been started"). The form is frequently used in administrative, statistical and news language to list or count items that are in an initiated but not necessarily completed state.

Related forms include aloitettu (singular), aloitetut (definite plural/nominal plural used for counted, complete reference), and aloittanut (active past participle, "having started"). The base verb aloittaa comes from Finnish roots meaning "to begin," and the participial forms follow regular Finnish participle and case-declension patterns.

Usage notes: because the partitive case often expresses partialness or non-finality, aloitettuja typically implies that the items referenced have been commenced but may still be in progress or lack finality.
