sovitettuihin

Sovitettuihin is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the illative plural of the past participle sovitettu, derived from the verb sovittaa meaning to fit, adjust, harmonize, or reconcile. The form refers to “those things that have been adjusted” or “the adjusted ones” and is used when moving toward or indicating direction into a group of items that have undergone adjustment. It is most common in formal, technical, or descriptive writing, and can appear in contexts such as design, tailoring, manufacturing, architecture, or documentation.

Morphology and usage notes: The base participle sovitettu is formed from the verb sovittaa with the suffix -ttu- to create a past participle. The illative plural ending in this form is -uihin, yielding sovitettuihin. The corresponding singular illative form would be sovitettuun. As a result, sovitettuihin is a specific, somewhat technical inflection used with plural nouns in illative case to indicate movement into or reference to the set of adjusted items, for example “sovitettuihin osiin” or “sovitettuihin vaatteisiin.”

Examples and context: The form tends to occur with nouns in plural in illative case and is less common in everyday speech. It can appear in manufacturing plans, technical descriptions, or cataloging where items have been tailored or matched to specifications. Example contexts include descriptions of components that have undergone fitting or adjustment and are treated as a distinct group for a process or evaluation.
