käynnistetyt

Käynnistetyt is the plural form of the Finnish past passive participle käynnistetty, derived from the verb käynnistää (to start, to initiate, to boot). It functions as an adjective or as part of a noun phrase meaning “started” or “initiated,” referring to objects or processes that have already been started.

In Finnish, participles inflect like adjectives. Käynnistetty corresponds to singular, and käynnistetyt to nominative plural. Other case forms align with the noun they modify, for example: käynnistettyjen (genitive plural) and käynnistettyjä (partitive plural). The phrase Käynnistetyt ohjelmat (the started programs) is a typical usage, and it is common to see this form in technical, industrial, and administrative contexts.

Usage and semantics: Käynnistetyt describes a state resulting from the action of starting, rather than the act itself. It is frequently employed in information technology, manufacturing, and project management to indicate that a system, process, or device has been launched and is operational or being monitored.

Common contexts:

- IT and software: Käynnistetyt ohjelmat ovat valmiita tai käynnistetyt prosessit ovat käynnissä.

- Manufacturing and systems: Käynnistetyt laitteet ovat toiminnassa.

- Documentation and status reporting: Käynnistetyt palvelut näkyvät tilanvalvonnassa.

Etymology: The form combines käynnistää with the participial suffix -tty, yielding käynnistetty, and its plural nominative is käynnistetyt.
