lisääntyneiden

lisääntyneiden is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb lisääntyä, meaning to increase or reproduce. It functions as an adjective-like modifier and is used to describe a noun in the genitive case. Grammatically, lisääntyneiden is the genitive plural form of the past participle lisääntynyt, which translates roughly as “increased” or “multiplied.”

In practice, lisääntyneiden typically appears with a noun in genitive to indicate that the described entities have increased. For example, the phrase lisääntyneiden tapausten määrä means “the number of increased cases,” commonly used in statistical or epidemiological reporting. The construction can apply to various domains where counts have risen compared with a prior period.

Common contexts include health statistics, crime data, and demographic reporting, where writers compare current figures to earlier measurements. The term helps express that certain items or groups have become more numerous, without implying anything about the mechanism of the increase.

Usage notes: lisääntyneiden is not a standalone noun; it is a grammatical form that modifies a following genitive noun. If you need other cases or singular references, different inflected forms of lisääntynyt (or related forms) are used. As with many Finnish participial adjectives, the form must agree in number and case with the noun it modifies.

In English, the closest general translation is “increased” or “increased ones,” but Finnish usage often preserves its participial meaning through noun phrases like “lisääntyneiden tapausten määrä” (the number of increased cases) or “lisääntyneiden käyttäjien määrä” (the number of increased users).
