katsottujen

Katsottujen is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the genitive plural of the past passive participle katsottu, which comes from the verb katsoa (to watch). In Finnish, participles used as adjectives agree with the head noun in case, number, and definiteness. Therefore katsottujen appears in noun phrases where the head noun is in genitive plural, such as ohjelmien or elokuvien.

Usage and meaning: Katsottujen functions as a participial adjective meaning “watched” or “seen,” referring to things that have already been viewed. It does not stand alone as a noun but modifies another noun within a genitive construction. The corresponding nominative plural form is katsotut, used for “the watched ones” as a noun phrase. Other related forms include katsottu (singular neuter), katsotun (singular genitive), and katsottua (singular partitive), each used with different noun cases and numbers.

Examples:

- Katsottujen ohjelmien lista on pitkä. (The list of watched programs is long.)

- Tässä tilastossa on katsottujen elokuvien määrä vuodessa. (This statistic shows the number of watched movies per year.)

Notes: Finnish grammars emphasize agreement between the participle and the noun it modifies; thus katsottujen must align with a genitive plural noun head. The form is common in written Finnish, especially in catalogs, databases, media summaries, and descriptive phrases that report items that have already been viewed.
