meltuutettiin

Meltuutettiin is a Finnish verb form. It is the passive past participle of the verb "sulattaa," which means "to melt." The ending "-tiin" indicates the passive voice and the past tense. Therefore, "meltuutettiin" literally translates to "was melted."

This form is used when describing an action where something was melted, but the agent performing the melting is either unknown, unimportant, or implied by the context. For example, in a sentence like "Jää sulaa nopeasti," which means "The ice melts quickly," the verb is in the present tense and active voice. However, if one wanted to say "The ice was melted by the sun," and focus on the ice, they might use a construction involving "meltuutettiin" in a more complex sentence. More commonly, "meltuutettiin" would appear in statements where the subject is the thing being acted upon.

The passive past participle in Finnish can function as an adjective or as part of a passive verb construction. "Meltuutettiin" specifically refers to a completed action of melting in the past, viewed from the perspective of the object that underwent melting. It is a common grammatical form encountered in written and spoken Finnish when discussing processes involving melting.
