mahdollistaneet

Mahdollistaneet is the plural past active participle of the Finnish verb mahdollistaa, meaning to enable or to make possible. It refers to actors, actions, or mechanisms that have enabled something and is used in formal or descriptive contexts to attribute an enabling effect. In Finnish, it functions attributively to modify a noun and agrees with the noun in number and case.

Etymology and form: The participle is formed from the verb mahdollistaa with the suffix -neet to create the plural past active participle. It is commonly found in written Finnish, especially in journalism, policy language, and academic texts, where it serves to identify those who have enabled a result or development.

Usage: Ma hdollistaneet is typically placed before or after a noun it modifies. For example, mahdollistaneet rahoituslähteet means “the funding sources that have enabled [the project],” and mahdollistaneet ratkaisut means “the solutions that have enabled [something].” The form is most common when describing collective actors (institutions, groups, programs) rather than a single person, and it appears in nominative plural to match the noun it accompanies.

Notes: The word is part of a family of forms derived from mahdollistaa, including mahdollistaa (to enable) and mahdollistettu (made possible, passive past participle). It should be used where a precise attribution of enabling actions is desired, and it can be less clear if the noun being described is not explicitly stated.
