Etymology and grammar: parannetut originates from parantaa with the past passive participle formation, using the suffix -ttu/-tty and the plural ending -t.

The form is common in Finnish for signaling revisions, upgrades, or enhancements.

Usage: Parannetut is widely used in contexts where versions, features, or items have been upgraded. It is frequent in product descriptions, software updates, consumer electronics, and marketing materials to denote that an item has undergone enhancement. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form that situates the noun as having been improved.
