käynnistettyään

Käynnistettyään is a Finnish word. It is the past active participle of the verb "käynnistää," which means "to start," "to launch," or "to initiate." The suffix "-ään" indicates that the action has been completed by the subject. Therefore, "käynnistettyään" translates to "after having started," "after having launched," or "after having initiated."

This grammatical form is used to describe a sequence of events where one action follows another. For example, one might say "Poliisi pidätti miehen auton käynnistettyään" which translates to "The police arrested the man after he had started the car." In this sentence, the act of starting the car happened before the arrest.

The word "käynnistettyään" is a compound form, combining the past passive participle "käynnistetty" (started) with the possessive suffix "-ään," which in this context functions similarly to a temporal conjunction indicating "after." This grammatical construction is common in Finnish for expressing a completed action that precedes another. It highlights the completion of the initial action before the subsequent one takes place.
