harjoitettuja

Harjoitettuja is a Finnish inflected form of the past passive participle harjoitettu, derived from the verb harjoittaa, meaning to practice, train, or drill. The form harjoitettuja is the plural partitive form, used to describe multiple nouns that have undergone practice or training. In English, this corresponds loosely to “exercised” or “practiced” when used as an adjective.

In Finnish grammar, past passive participles function as adjectives and agree with the noun they modify in number and case. When the noun is in the partitive plural, the participle takes the partitive plural ending, yielding harjoitettuja. The sense conveyed is that the items have already experienced practice, training, or repeated exercise. This form is commonly used in contexts such as sports, education, and procedural descriptions where the emphasis is on the processed or trained state of the noun.

Usage notes:

- harjoitettuja modifies plural nouns in the partitive case, for example with phrases like “harjoitettuja liikkeitä” (exercised movements).

- It can describe processes, routines, or objects that have undergone practice.

Examples:

- Kurssilla käytiin läpi harjoitettuja liikkeitä.

- Turvallisuusharjoituksissa käytettiin harjoitettuja harjoitteita.
