siirretyn

Siirretyn is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the genitive singular of the past passive participle siirretty, derived from the verb siirtää, meaning to move or transfer. In ordinary usage, siirretyn serves as an attributive adjective before a noun in genitive form, indicating that the noun has been moved or relocated. For example, siirretyn tiedoston nimi means “the name of the moved file” or “the moved file’s name.” The form is common in technical writing, logistics, archiving, and computing where objects have been relocated.

Etymology and formation: siirretyn comes from siirretty (moved/transferred) and takes the genitive singular ending to modify a following noun in genitive, such as tiedoston (file). Finnish adjectives and participles decline to match case and number, so siirretyn appears only when the modified noun is in the genitive singular and the adjective is used attributively.

Usage notes: The word does not function as an independent noun. It is a derivational form that relies on a noun to complete the meaning. Other inflected forms exist for different cases and numbers, for instance siirrettyä (partitive) or siirrettyjen (genitive plural), depending on the syntactic role of the noun phrase. The concept conveyed is that the referenced item has undergone relocation or transfer.
