tuodut

Tuodut is a Finnish word that functions as a past participle used as an adjective. It is the plural form of the passive past participle of the verb tuoda, meaning “brought.” As an attributive adjective, tuodut describes objects or items that have been brought to a location or context. In Finnish, participles used this way agree with the noun in number and case.

Formation and related forms: The base form tuotu is the singular neuter form. The plural nominative form is tuodut. In different cases the participle declines like other adjectives with the noun it modifies. The genitive plural of tuodut is tuotujen (as in tuotujen tavaroiden arvo, “the value of the brought goods”). The partitive plural form is tuotuja (as in tuotuja tavaroita, “brought items”).

Usage: Tuodut is typically placed before the noun it describes, functioning similarly to other Finnish adjectives. It is common in contexts discussing items that have been brought to a place, received, or delivered. It can appear in predicative position with the copula, though this is less common than attributive use.

Examples:

- Tuodut tavarat ovat pöydällä. (The brought items are on the table.)

- Olemme huomioineet tuodut lahjat. (We have noted the brought gifts.)

- Tämä on tuotu lahja. (This is a brought gift.)

Notes: Tuodut is distinct from tuotu in that tuodut refers to plural items, while tuotu refers to a single item. The word forms and their inflections align with standard Finnish adjective-participle agreement patterns.
