kerättyyn

Kerättyyn is a Finnish inflected form of the past passive participle kerätty, meaning “collected” or “gathered.” Kerätty is formed from the verb kerätä, “to collect,” and can function as an adjective or as part of a noun phrase. The form kerättyyn specifically marks the illative case (indicating direction “into” or “to”) when the modifier relates to a noun in illative.

In use, kerätty can appear in different cases to describe data, information, or material that has been gathered. In attributive position you might see kerättye erityisesti as kerätty tieto, meaning “collected data.” In phrases where the illative case is required, kerättyyn accompanies a noun in illative, as in kerättyyn tietoon, meaning “to the collected knowledge” or “into the collected knowledge.” The same participle can thus align with the noun’s case to convey whether one is describing the collected item or directing toward it.

Common contexts for kerättyyn are academic, research, and analytical writing, where distinctions between collected data and the existing body of knowledge are important. It is typically used when referencing data, information, or material that has been assembled and is being discussed in relation to a particular source, finding, or conclusion.

Notes: As with other Finnish participial adjectives, kerättyyn is context-dependent and derives its precise meaning from the noun it modifies and the surrounding case cues.
