pyöritetty

Pyöritetty is a Finnish word that functions as a past participle and adjective derived from the verb pyörittää, meaning to rotate or spin. It is used to describe something that has been rotated or caused to rotate, and appears in technical, graphical, and everyday contexts alike. In practice, you might encounter phrases such as a “pyöritetty kuva” (rotated image) or statements like “Kuva on pyöritetty 90 astetta myötäpäivään” (The image has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise).

Grammatical notes: Pyöritetty is a past passive participle and behaves as an ordinary Finnish adjective, agreeing with the noun it modifies in number and case. When used predicatively, it can express that a rotation has taken place, for example, “Kuva on pyöritetty.” The participle also forms related cases such as “pyöritetyn kuvan” (of the rotated image) or “pyöritetyn kappaleen” (of the rotated object).

Contexts and usage: The term is common in fields dealing with geometry, computer graphics, imaging, and manufacturing processes where objects or data are rotated for alignment, analysis, or presentation. It contrasts with related terms like “pyörivä” (spinning) and the noun “pyöritys” (rotation), which denote ongoing action or the concept of rotation rather than a completed state.
