mallinnettua

Mallinnettua is a Finnish adjective form derived from the verb mallintaa, meaning to model or to simulate. It is the partitive singular form of the past passive participle mallinnettu, used when the noun it modifies is in the partitive case. In practice, mallinnettua describes something that has been produced by modeling or simulation, such as data, scenarios, or results.

In technical and scientific contexts, mallinnettua is used to distinguish modeled or simulated content from raw or observed material. For example, in a sentence like “Tutkimuksessa käytettiin mallinnettua dataa,” the phrase indicates that the data comes from a modeling process rather than direct measurement. Another example is “mallinnettua ilmastotietoa,” referring to climate information generated by climate models. The form is common in fields such as data science, engineering, and lifecycle simulations, where models are used to predict, test, or compare outcomes.

Grammatically, mallinnettua is the partitive singular of the participle and typically appears with nouns in the partitive case. When the noun is in a different grammatical role or number, other forms of the participle are used (for example, mallinnettu for a masculine or neuter singular subject in nominative).

Related concepts include mallintaminen (modeling), malli (model), and simulointi (simulation). These terms collectively describe the process and products of creating representations of real-world systems for analysis and prediction.
