omaksutun

Omaksutun is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb omaksua, meaning to adopt or absorb. It is the genitive singular form of the past passive participle omaksuttu, and it is used to indicate possession or relation to something that has been adopted or absorbed. In this sense, omaksutun marks a relationship of ownership or association with an adopted or assimilated entity within a noun phrase.

In usage, omaksutun commonly appears in formal or academic Finnish, particularly in discussions of cultural, linguistic, or social assimilation. It may occur in phrases such as omaksutun kulttuurin piirteet (the features of the assimilated culture) or omaksutun kielen sanasto (the vocabulary of the adopted language). Because it operates at the level of possession or association, it is more likely found in written contexts, such as sociolinguistic analyses, ethnographic descriptions, or policy discussions, than in everyday spoken language.

Relationship to related terms is straightforward: it is connected to the verb omaksua (to adopt/absorb) and the participle forms omaksuttu (adopted/absorbed) and omaksuttaminen (the act of adoption/absorption). The form omaksutun thus participates in Finnish nominal phrases where a possessed or associated quality is described, complementing other genitive constructions in academic and descriptive writing.
