kehittyneiden

Kehittyneiden is a Finnish genitive plural form used with the past participle kehittynyt (developed) to refer to a group described as developed. In practice, kehittyneiden functions as an adjective in the genitive plural and is most often found when a noun in the genitive is implied, for example in phrases describing the economy or relations of developed countries. It translates roughly as “of the developed [ones]” and appears in formal or analytical writing.

In usage, kehittyneiden is typically followed by a noun in the genitive case, such as kehittyneiden maiden talous (the economy of the developed countries) or kehittyneiden maiden väliset suhteet (the relations between the developed countries). It can also appear in broader constructions like kehittyneiden alueiden kehitysennusteet (development forecasts for developed regions). Because it is a genitive-form adjective, it does not stand alone and requires a following noun to complete the meaning.

Kehittyneiden contrasts with kehittyvät tiedonetsivät categories in contexts describing development status. The corresponding term for developing countries is kehittyvät maat, and the genitive plural would be kehittyvien maiden. Kehiytyksen, -v -n patterns reflect Finnish grammar where adjectives and participles agree in number and case with the noun they modify. The term kehittyneiden is primarily encountered in economics, policy analysis, and international relations rather than everyday speech.
