dokumentoitujen

Dokumentoitujen is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb dokumentoida, meaning to document. It is the genitive plural form of the past participle used as an adjective, and it conveys the sense of “the documented (ones)” or “of the documented.” In practice it is most often seen in phrases that describe information, sources, or evidence that has been recorded or verified.

The form is typically used with nouns in the genitive plural, such as tietojen (data), lähteiden (sources), or todistusten (witnesses/evidence). A common expression is dokumentoitujen tietojen mukaan, which translates to “according to the documented data.” Other examples include dokumentoitujen lähteiden mukaan or dokumentoitujen todistusten valossa (in light of the documented evidence).

In usage, dokumentoitujen functions as a modifier for a plural genitive noun and is not typically used as a stand-alone noun. It is more common in formal writing—such as scientific, legal, or journalistic contexts—where explicit reference to verified or recorded material is appropriate. The nuance it carries is a clear emphasis on documentation or verifiability, distinguishing documented material from undocumented or informal information.

Related forms include the nominative plural dokumentoidut (the documented ones) and the singular dokumentoitu (documented). The genitive plural dokumentoitujen is a standard construction in Finnish, reflecting the language’s system of participial adjectives and case marking.
