kuljettanut

Kuljettanut is the active past participle of the Finnish verb kuljettaa, meaning to transport or to convey. It denotes an action completed by the subject and is used to form perfect aspect together with the auxiliary olla, such as in Hän on kuljettanut tavaran perille, meaning “she/they has transported the item to the destination.”

Usage and meaning

Kuljettanut expresses that the subject has carried out the transportation of something. It is commonly used in formal or written Finnish, especially in reports, summaries, or descriptions of actions taken. It is the counterpart to the passive past participle kuljetettu, which describes something that has been transported rather than who transported it. While kuljetettu focuses on the object being moved, kuljettanut highlights the agent performing the transport.

Forms and grammar

As a participle, kuljettanut can appear in verb phrases with olla to indicate perfect aspect (has transported). In attributive or predicative uses, it can modify a noun or participate in a larger verb construction, depending on sentence structure. Finnish participles may adopt some agreement in broader contexts, but kuljettanut itself primarily functions as a participial form rather than a standalone finite verb.

Examples

- Hän on kuljettanut tavaran perille. (He has transported the goods to the destination.)

- Yritys on kuljettanut tonnin verran tuotteita tänä vuonna. (The company has transported about a thousand tons of products this year.)

Notes

Kuljettanut is derived from kuljettaa, with related terms tied to movement and transport. It is distinct from kuljetettu (the transported) and is best understood within the context of Finnish verb forms and aspect.
