saavutetuilla

Saavutetuilla is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the adessive plural of the past passive participle “saavutettu” (to achieve, to attain). It is used to refer to things that have been achieved or attained and to indicate a relationship of those things to a noun in the adessive case. In effect, it means “with the achieved ones” or “on those that have been achieved” depending on the sentence.

Formation and function: The base verb is saavuttaa. The past passive participle is saavutettu, and adding the adessive plural suffix -illa/-illä yields saavutetuilla. This form can modify plural nouns (for example, saavtetuilla tuloksilla = with the achieved results) or function as a substantive referring to the group of achieved things (in context).

Usage: Saavutetuilla is most common in formal or written Finnish, such as reports, analyses, and academic writing, where attention is on outcomes or attainment. It is distinct from similar forms like saavuttavat (present) or saavutettavissa (potential: achievable). The adessive form “saavutetuilla” emphasizes a relationship to the noun in the adessive case, often translating roughly as “with the achieved …” or “on the achieved …” in English.

Examples:

- Saavutetuilla tuloksilla on ollut merkittävä vaikutus projektin arvioinnissa. (The achieved results have had a significant impact on the project assessment.)

- Raportti vertailee saavutetuilla tavoitteilla saavutettuja menestystekijöitä. (The report compares success factors achieved with the achieved goals.)
