neliöidyt

Neliöidyt is a Finnish term that functions as the past participle of the verb neliöidä, meaning to square or quadrate. It literally translates to “squared” and is used as an adjective to describe things that have been made into a square form or that have undergone the squaring operation. In practice, neliöidyt can modify geometric shapes, numerical values, or other quantities that have been squared.

In mathematical and data-analytic contexts, neliöidyt refers to values obtained by squaring a quantity. For example, if x is a variable, x squared is described as a neliöity arvo, and multiple squared values can be referred to as neliöidyt arvot. The term often appears alongside related concepts such as neliöinti (the act of squaring) and neliöintioperaatio (the square operation). The word’s morphology follows Finnish patterns: the infinitive is neliöidä, the singular past participle is neliöity, and the plural past participle is neliöidyt. Adjectives formed in this way agree with the noun they modify in number and case.

Usage notes: neliöidyt is primarily a descriptive term in technical or mathematical text. It can also be used more broadly to indicate that an object has been made square in shape or arrangement, depending on context. The term is closely related to other square-related words in Finnish, such as neliö and neliöinti.
