sekoitetut

Sekoitetut is a Finnish adjective formed from the verb sekoittaa, meaning to mix. It literally means “mixed” or “blended” and describes items that have been combined from several components. As a passive past participle, sekoitetut is inflected for number and case, for example sekoitetut juomat (mixed drinks) or sekoitetut elintarvikkeet (mixtures of foods).

The term is commonly used in labeling and descriptions in culinary, dietary, and industrial contexts to indicate a product consists of multiple ingredients or elements rather than a single component. Examples include sekoitetut juomat (mixed beverages), sekoitetut värit (pigments that have been blended), and sekoitetut aineet (mixed substances) in scientific or manufacturing settings. It can also describe formulations or blends in chemistry or food production, such as sekoitetut elintarvikkeet or sekoitetut seokset.

In Finnish grammar, sekoitetut is the plural form of the passive past participle of sekoittaa and thus differentiates from other participial forms like sekoittunut, which means something has become mixed up or confused rather than intentionally blended. This distinction helps avoid ambiguity between intentional mixtures and accidental mixing.

Overall, sekoitetut conveys the idea that a noun it modifies is a product of blending or combining multiple components, widely used across everyday language, labeling, and technical descriptions.
