ratkaistujen

Ratkaistujen is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the genitive plural of the past passive participle ratkais-tu and functions as an adjective form meaning “of the solved” or “of the resolved.” In practice it is used to modify a following noun in the genitive plural, often in phrases describing things that have been resolved or solved.

Etymology and morphology

The base verb ratkaista means “to solve” or “to decide.” The past passive participle is ratkaistu, which can take plural forms for different grammatical cases. The nominative plural form is ratkaistut (solved ones), and the genitive plural form is ratkaistujen (of the solved ones). The word ratkaistujen is therefore a genitive plural adjective form used with nouns in genitive plural to express a relationship such as ownership, description, or specification.

Usage

Common contexts include academic, technical, and journalistic writing, where authors refer to collections or groups of items that have been solved. For example:

- ratkaistujen ongelmien määrä (the number of solved problems)

- ratkaistujen tapausten raportoitu määrä (the reported number of resolved cases)

Notes

While ratkaistujen by itself is not a standalone noun, it appears as part of larger noun phrases in genitive construction. It is one of several Finnish participial forms derived from ratkaista and demonstrates how participles function in genitive relationships within noun phrases.
