saatettujen

Saatettujen is a Finnish term that refers to people who have been escorted or accompanied. It derives from the verb saattaa, meaning to accompany or escort, and from the participial adjective saatettu, meaning escorted. Saatettujen is the genitive plural form of saatetut, and it is used in noun phrases to indicate the group of people who have been escorted.

In Finnish, saatetut serves as a plural noun or adjective meaning “the escorted (ones).” The corresponding genitive plural form is saatettujen, used to indicate possession or association, as in phrases like saatettujen nimet (the names of the escorted) or saatettujen joukko (the group of those who were escorted). The construction is characteristic of formal or archival language rather than everyday speech.

Usage and context: Saatettujen appears most often in formal, historical, legal, or official texts. It can introduce lists, descriptions, or references to groups that were accompanied or escorted for a particular purpose. Because it is a participial form, its exact meaning hinges on the context and the noun it modifies.

Related terms include saattue (an escort or retinue), saattaja (an escort, chaperone), and saatto (escort, procession). These terms share the same semantic field of accompanying persons or groups and are commonly employed in similar formal registers.

Overall, saatettujen is a specialized, grammatically defined form used to denote “the escorted ones” in Finnish, with emphasis on formal or historical usage rather than everyday speech.
