digitalisoituneen

Digitalisoituneen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish past participle digitalisoitunut, derived from the verb digitalisoitua meaning to become digitized or to digitalize. In Finnish, digitalisoitunut functions as an adjective, and digitalisoituneen is used when describing a noun in the genitive case, for example in phrases like digitalisoituneen infrastruktuurin or digitalisoituneen kaupungin. The form signals a state resulting from digitization rather than the act of digitizing.

Usage and meaning

Digitalisoituneen appears primarily in formal or written Finnish, especially in discussions of digitization processes, policy analysis, or academic texts. It conveys that the described noun has undergone digitization and now exists in a digitized form or environment. Because it is a genitive participial adjective, it cannot stand alone as a noun and must modify a head noun within a sentence.

Examples

Example sentences illustrate its use: “Tutkimus käsittelee digitalisoituneen kaupungin infrastruktuurin haasteita.” (“The study examines the challenges of the digitized city’s infrastructure.”) “Digitalisoituneen arkiston hoito vaatii uutta teknologiaa.” (“Managing the digitized archive requires new technology.”)

Related terms

Digitalisoituneen is closely related to digitalisaatio (digitization), digitalisoituminen (the process of digitization), and digitaalisuus (digitalness or digital character). In everyday Finnish, speakers may prefer other forms such as digitalisoitunut (the digitized) or refer to digitization as digitalisaatio, depending on nuance and formality.

Overall, digitalisoituneen is a precise grammatical form used to describe something that has become digitized within formal Finnish writing.
