liikkunut

Liikkunut is a Finnish word formed as the past participle of the verb liikkua. It is used as an adjective or as part of verb phrases with the auxiliary olla to indicate that movement has occurred. The core sense is that something has moved or has been moved from one place to another, and that movement can be literal (physical relocation or motion) or figurative (changes in price, numbers, opinions, etc.).

In practice, liikkunut appears in predicative constructions such as on liikkunut or on liikkunut paljon, meaning that something has moved or has fluctuated to a notable degree. It can describe a person, object, or abstract measure that has undergone movement or change. For example, Hinta on liikkunut viime kuukausina (The price has moved over the past months). It can also refer to a person’s movements, as in Hän on liikkunut paljon viime aikoina (She/He has moved around a lot lately).

Liikkunut is distinct from liikkeestä liittyvää liikkumisen in current action; liikkua and liikkuva express ongoing motion, whereas liikkunut emphasizes completed movement or a state resulting from movement. Related terms include liikkuminen (movement or moving as a process), liike (movement or business), and liikkuvuus (mobility).
