Ke Hittynein can be used attributively before a noun, as in kehittynein teknologia (the most developed technology), or predicatively after the verb olla, as in se on kehittynein maailmassa (it is the most advanced in the world). The form agrees with the noun in number and case according to standard Finnish inflection rules.

Nuance and context: KeHittynein describes relative, not absolute, superiority. Its meaning depends on what is being compared and to whom or what the comparison group is defined. It is commonly found in discussions of technology, science, industry, economics, and media when presenting rankings or evaluations. When needed, the scope of comparison should be specified, for example by referencing a region, sector, or time frame.
