nimeätyjä

Nimeätyjä is a Finnish adjective form meaning “named” or “having a name” and is used to describe nouns that have been given a name or identified. It is the plural form used in contexts where the noun is being referred to in a way that emphasizes the fact that its name has already been established. The base adjective is nimeätty, derived from the verb nimiä/nimi, and nimeätyt (nominative plural) or nimeättyjä (partitive or other case forms) appear according to Finnish grammar.

In practical use, nimeätyjä typically appears in lists, inventories, or descriptions of people, places, or things that have specific names. For example, in a registry or catalog one might read “nimeätyt henkilöt,” meaning “the named individuals,” or “nimeätyt kohteet,” meaning “the named sites.” In technical or linguistic contexts, the concept is often discussed in relation to naming and identification processes, and translations of the English term “named entities” are sometimes rendered as “nimeätyt entiteetit” or, less formally, “nimeätyt nimet,” depending on the surrounding terminology and stylistic guidelines.

Nimeätyjä contrasts with forms such as nimeetty (singular) or nimetyt, which carry related but distinct nuances in Finnish grammar. The term itself functions primarily as a grammatical descriptor rather than a standalone concept, though it is commonly used in fields that deal with named individuals or entities, including linguistics, data annotation, and information organization.
