kehittyneellä

Ke hittyneellä is the adessive singular form of the Finnish adjective kehittynyt, meaning developed. It denotes a state or condition that something has achieved and is commonly translated as “in a developed state” or “with developed X.” The word is used to describe things such as technology, infrastructure, systems, or knowledge, signaling a higher level of advancement.

Grammatically, kehittyneellä is used with nouns in the adessive case to indicate location or state. Examples include kehittyneellä teknologialla (with developed technology), kehittyneellä tasolla (at an advanced level), and kehittyneillä markkinoilla (in developed markets). The construction often appears in technical, policy, or comparative contexts where a certain degree of development is being specified. The corresponding plural form is kehittyneillä, as in kehittyneillä teknologioilla.

Etymology and morphology: kehittyneellä derives from the verb kehittyä (to develop, to evolve) and the past participle stem kehittynyt, with the adjectival inflection -ne- and the adessive suffix -llä. The base nominative adjective is kehittynyt, while kehittyneellä marks a specific, developed state for a noun in the adessive.

Usage notes: kehittyneellä conveys a generally recognized level of development and is common in discussions about technology, economy, science, and society. It often contrasts with less developed states described by terms like kehittymätön or kehittymätöntä, though exact nuance depends on context. It is different from kaupungallinen kehittyneet vs kehittyneet areas; the former emphasizes state rather than a dynamic process.
