kohdistettujen

Kohdistettujen is a Finnish adjective form derived from the verb kohdistaa ("to target, to direct"). It appears as the genitive plural or partitive-like plural form of the past participle kohdistettu, and is typically used to qualify a following noun (for example kohdistettujen toimenpiteiden "of the targeted measures"). The form reflects regular Finnish participle and adjective inflection patterns, combining the participial stem kohdistettu- with the plural genitive ending -jen/-ien.

Grammatically, kohdistettujen contrasts with kohdistetut (nominative plural "the targeted [ones]") and kohdistettu (singular participle). Its usage signals that the described items, actions or effects have been directed toward particular targets, groups or objectives. Pronunciation follows Finnish phonology, roughly [koh-distet-tu-jen].

In practice, kohdistettujen occurs in a range of contexts where allocation, focus or orientation is important: public policy (kohdistettujen tukien "targeted subsidies"), marketing (kohdistettujen kampanjoiden "targeted campaigns"), research (kohdistettujen analyysien "targeted analyses") and statistics (kohdistettujen korjausten "targeted adjustments"). The word is neutral in tone and descriptive, used to indicate intentional direction or specification rather than evaluation.
