näyttänyt

Nyttänyt is a Finnish word with multiple meanings depending on its grammatical context. Primarily, it functions as the past active participle of the verb "näyttää," which can mean "to show," "to seem," or "to look."

When used to mean "shown," näyttänyt indicates something that has been presented or revealed. For example, "hän oli näyttänyt kirjan" translates to "he/she had shown the book."

In its sense of "seemed" or "looked," näyttänyt describes an appearance or impression. A common phrase is "se näytti hyvältä," meaning "it looked good" or "it seemed good." Thus, näyttänyt describes how something appeared or was perceived in the past.
