muuttamia

Muuttamia is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb muuttaa, meaning to move or to change. It functions as a participial adjective that describes nouns which have undergone movement or alteration. The form is most commonly encountered with plural nouns and in contexts where a non-finite clause modifies a noun, functioning like a relative clause in English.

Morphology and usage: The form is built from the stem muutt- with the participial ending -ama and a plural ending -ia, yielding muodossa muuttamia. In practice, muuttamia modifies a noun in plural, typically appearing with the noun in partitive or genitive cases, depending on the syntactic role. Thus, muuttamia can be used to express “things that have been moved or changed,” “items that have undergone alteration,” or similar meanings. It is not a standalone lexeme but a declinable descriptive form used in descriptive, narrative, or formal language.

Examples:

- Raportissa on lueteltu muuttamia asioita. (The report lists items that have been changed.)

- Kaupunkisuunnitelma huomioi muuttamia rakennuksia. (The city plan takes into account buildings that have been altered.)

Relation to Finnish grammar: Muuttamia illustrates how Finnish uses participial adjectives to create descriptive noun phrases. It is one of several forms formed from verb stems to convey completed action affecting the noun, contrasting with present-tense or ongoing-action forms.
