mahdollistanut

Mahtollistanut is the past participle form of the Finnish verb mahdollistaa, meaning to enable or to make possible. It is used to describe something or someone that has enabled a particular outcome or opportunity. As a past active participle, it can function as an adjective or as part of a noun phrase referring to the agent responsible for enabling.

In usage, mahdollistanut often appears in formal or written Finnish when credit is attributed to an actor. Example: Hankkeen rahoituksen mahdollistanut organisaatio sai tunnustusta. Translation: The organization that enabled the project’s funding received recognition. The participle agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, and can be declined like other Finnish participles to fit the syntactic context.

Etymology: the word derives from mahdollisuus (possibility) and the verb mahdollistaa (to enable). The past active participle form, mahdollistanut, conveys that enabling has already occurred.
