talletettuaan

Talletettuaan is a Finnish word derived from the verb "tallettaa," which means to deposit, save, store, or record. The suffix "-tuaan" indicates that the action of depositing, saving, storing, or recording has been completed by the subject of the sentence. It functions as a past active participle, often translated as "having deposited," "after saving," or "upon recording."

This grammatical form is used to describe a completed action that precedes another action or state. For example, in a sentence like "Hän lähti kaupasta talletettuaan rahansa pankkiautomaattiin," the phrase "talletettuaan rahansa pankkiautomaattiin" means "having deposited his money in the ATM." The subject, "hän" (he/she), performed the action of depositing before leaving the store.

The word is versatile and can be applied to various contexts. It can refer to financial transactions, such as putting money into a bank account. It can also relate to storing information, like saving a file on a computer or recording data. In a broader sense, it can mean preserving something for the future. The specific meaning is usually clear from the surrounding context of the sentence. Understanding the function of "-tuaan" is crucial for correctly interpreting Finnish sentences that involve sequential actions performed by the same subject.
