kehitettyyn

Kehitettyyn is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the past participle kehitetty, meaning developed. It is the illative singular form used to indicate a destination or target of development, i.e., something into which development has been directed or into which one moves in a figurative sense. In practice, kehitettyyn is attached to a following noun that is in the illative case, forming phrases such as into the developed version or into the developed prototype.

Etymology and function: The word is formed from the verb kehittää (to develop) and the passive past participle kehitetty (developed). The illative suffix -yn, combined with the participle, yields kehitettyyn. This construction is common in Finnish technical and formal writing to describe transitions, updates, or deployments to a state or component that has undergone development.

Morphology and usage: Kehitettyyn is a singular illative form. It does not reflect gender, and number is determined by the noun it accompanies. The accompanying noun is typically in illative case, for example versioon (to the version), prototyyppiin (to the prototype), or ohjelmistoon (to the software). Phrases like kehitettyyn versioon or kehitettyyn prototyyppiin are used to specify the destination of a change, update, or movement within a development context.

Examples:

- Käyttöohje on päivitetty kehitettyyn versioon.

- Projekti siirrettiin kehitettyyn prototyyppiin.

- Uudet ominaisuudet on lisätty kehitettyyn ohjelmistopakettiin.
