myönnetyt

Myönnetyt is the nominative plural form of the Finnish past passive participle myönnetty, derived from the verb myöntää meaning to grant, admit, or concede. As a participle used as an adjective, myönnetyt describes nouns that have received approval or authorization from an authority. It inflects like an ordinary Finnish adjective, with forms such as myönnettyjen (genitive plural) and myönnettyjä (partitive plural).

Usage and context: myönnetyt is commonly found in formal, administrative, and legal texts to indicate that something has been granted or approved. It often describes rights, permits, funds, or concessions that have been allocated by a regulatory body, organization, or government. Examples include myönnetyt oikeudet (the rights that have been granted), myönnetyt luvat (the permits that have been granted), and myönnetyt varat (the funds that have been granted). The form is typically used when the grant is a completed status rather than an ongoing action.

Relation to related forms: myönnetty is the singular form, used with a singular noun, while myöntää is the verb meaning “to grant” or “to admit.” Other participial forms include the intense, nuanced distinctions common to Finnish participles, and the word is most often encountered in written, official, or formal discourse.

Etymology: myönnetyt derives from the verb myöntää, with the past passive participle suffix -nyt, and then the plural marker -t, yielding a plural adjective that agrees with the noun it modifies. See also myönnetty, myöntää, and related legal vocabulary.
