liitettyjen

Liitettyjen is a Finnish grammatical form that serves as the genitive plural of the past participle liitetty, meaning attached. In practice, liitettyjen functions as a modifier in noun phrases to indicate “of the attached” or “the attached ones.” It is not a standalone noun, but part of a larger construction such as liitettyjen asiakirjojen or liitettyjen tiedostojen, where it agrees with the head noun in number and case.

Morphology and usage: The base word is liitetty, the past participle of liittää (to attach). Its genitive plural form is liitettyjen. This form is used before a head noun that is in the genitive or shows a possessive relation, typically in formal or administrative contexts. Common constructions include liitettyjen asiakirjojen (of the attached documents) and liitettyjen tiedostojen (of the attached files). The phrase as a whole denotes material that has been appended to a document or is otherwise attached.

Examples and notes:

- Liitettyjen asiakirjojen lista translates to “list of the attached documents.”

- Liitettyjen tiedostojen määrä translates to “the number of the attached files.”

In contrast, liitetyt tiedostot would mean “the attached files” in the nominative plural, used when the head noun is the subject or object of a sentence rather than in a genitive construction.
