myönnettyjen

Myönnettyjen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish past passive participle myönnetty, meaning “granted” or “awarded.” In Finnish, participles and adjectives decline to agree with the noun they describe in number and case. When the modifying noun is plural and in the genitive case, the participle appears as myönnettyjen. The phrase myönnettyjen lupien ehdot translates to “the terms of the granted licenses.” By contrast, with a nominative plural noun the form would be myönnetyt, as in myönnetyt luvat, meaning “the granted licenses.”

The form is most common in administrative, legal, and policy-language, where it describes objects that have been granted or conferred. It signals that an action—granting, awarding, or conferring—has already occurred relative to the noun it modifies. The construction highlights the status of the nouns as recipients or objects of a prior grant.

Etymology and related forms: myönnetty derives from the verb myöntää (“to grant,” “to award,” or “to admit”), with the past passive participle ending -tty. The genitive plural ending -jen marks the form myönnettyjen in contexts where the governing noun is in genitive plural. Other forms of the participle appear to match different cases and numbers, such as myönnetyt for nominative plural.
