hankkinut

Hankkinut is the past participle form of the Finnish verb hankkia, which means "to obtain," "to acquire," or "to procure." As a participial form it is used in compound perfect tenses together with the auxiliary olla ("to be") to indicate completed actions: for example, "Minä olen hankkinut" means "I have acquired" and "Hän on hankkinut uuden työn" means "He/she has obtained a new job."

Formally, hankkinut is created from the verb stem plus the participle suffix -nut/-nyt; Finnish phonological processes such as consonant gradation and gemination can affect the stem, producing the doubled consonant seen in hankkinut. The same participial system yields plural and other inflected forms (for example, hankkineet for the 3rd-person plural perfect).

Beyond tense formation, hankkinut can function attributively like an adjective to modify nouns, agreeing in case and number when declined: for instance, "hankkinut auto" (the acquired car) in nominative singular. It appears in both spoken and written Finnish and is a common way to express completed acquisition or procurement. Related forms include the infinitive hankkia and other participles derived from the same verb.
