eristettyjä

Eristettyjä is a Finnish word that functions as the plural partitive form of the adjective or past participle eristetty, which means isolated or separated. The form is derived from the verb eristää, meaning to isolate or to separate. In Finnish, eristetty can describe something that has been set apart, and eristettyjä is used when the noun it modifies is plural and the object is indefinite or partially specified.

Grammatical notes: eristetty is a past participle that can serve as an adjective. To form the plural partitive, the ending -jä is added, resulting in eristettyjä. This form is commonly used with nouns in partitive case, indicating an indefinite quantity or that the exact count is not important. In contrast, the nominative plural that describes definite groups is eristetyt.

Usage examples: eristettyjä tiloja (isolated spaces), eristettyjä rakennuksia (isolated buildings), eristettyjä alueita (isolated areas). The phrase often appears in contexts such as architecture, security, or ecology, where items or regions are described as being separated from their surroundings.

Related forms: eristetty (adjective or past participle in singular), eristää (to isolate), eristettävä (to be isolated or to be isolatable). The term is part of Finnish morphology that uses participial forms to describe states or results of actions.
