kehitetyissä

Kehtetyissä is a Finnish inflected form derived from the past passive participle kehitetty, meaning developed or engineered. In grammatical terms, kehitetyissä is the inessive plural form used to describe multiple items that have been developed or created by someone, often in technical, industrial, or analytical contexts. The form appears when the speaker refers to “those that have been developed” and places them within the set of things being discussed.

Morphology and usage

Ke hitetyissä follows the standard pattern for the past passive participle in Finnish: the stem kehitet- plus the participial ending -ty-, with the plural inessive ending -issä. This construction is used attributively or predicatively to modify plural nouns. For example, kehitetyissä järjestelmissä means “in developed systems,” kehitetyissä tuotteissa means “in developed/engineered products.” The expression emphasizes that the items have undergone a development process performed by agents such as researchers, engineers, or manufacturers.

Contexts and nuance

Kehtetyissä is common in technical writing, project reports, and comparative analyses where distinguishing between developed/engineered items and those that are not yet developed is important. It is distinct from kehittyneet (developed in a broader sense, often used for countries or regions) and from kehittynyt (a singular or abstract sense of development). The choice of kehitetyissä underlines the product- or system-level status as a result of deliberate development.
