esitettyihin

Esitettyihin is Finnish a grammatical form that functions as an adjective derived from the verb esittää, meaning to present. It is the illative plural form of the passive past participle esitetty, which translates roughly as “presented.” The form is used to refer to things that have been presented and to modify plural nouns in the illative case, as in esitettyihin kysymyksiin, meaning “to the questions that have been presented.”

Morphology and usage: esitettyihin combines the participle esitetty with the illative plural ending -iin, producing a form that attaches to a plural noun in illative case. This construction is common in formal or written Finnish, where it explicitly marks that the referents have already been presented.

Examples: Esitettyihin kysymyksiin vastattiin kokouksessa. (Responses to the questions that have been presented were given at the meeting.) Esitettyihin ehdotuksiin haettiin lisätietoja ennen päätöksentekoa. (Additional information was sought for the proposals that had been presented.)

Related forms and notes: The base participle esitetty means “presented.” For other cases or numbers, different endings are used, such as esitettyyn (illative singular) or esitetyt (nominative plural). The form esitettyihin is most often encountered in written or formal contexts, where precise reference to “things that have been presented” is required.

Etymology: From the verb esittää with the passive past participle suffix -tty, plus the illative plural suffix -iin. The structure mirrors Finnish patterns for adjectives formed from participles that modify plural nouns in various cases.
