kerätyn

Kerätyn is a Finnish grammatical form: it is the genitive singular of the past participle kerätty, which means “collected.” In Finnish, kerätty is used as an attributive participle to describe a noun, and the genitive suffix -n attaches to form the genitive phrase used with the noun it modifies.

Etymology and formation: kerätty derives from the verb kerätä, “to collect.” The past participle kerätty can function as an adjective, and when it modifies a noun in the genitive case, it takes the genitive singular ending -n, producing kerätyn. This form is common in formal or technical language.

Usage and examples: kerätyn is normally part of a noun phrase rather than a standalone word. Examples include kerätyn aineiston analyysi (the analysis of the collected data), kerätyn tiedon perusteella (based on the collected information), and kerätyn materiaalin arkisto (the archive of the collected material). When the modified noun is in plural genitive, the form changes to kerättyjen, as in kerättyjen aineistojen analyysi (an analysis of the collected datasets).

Notes: kerätyn is a grammatical form used to convey “of the collected” or “belonging to the collected” within noun phrases. It is not a separate lexical item with independent meaning; its role is to modify nouns in genitive phrases. Its usage is common in academic, archival, and data-reporting contexts in Finnish.
