täytetyihin

Täytetyihin is a Finnish linguistic form derived from the past participle täytetty, meaning stuffed or filled. It is used as an adjective in the illative plural, formed by adding the illative plural suffix -iin to the participle, yielding täytettyihin. The construction refers to multiple items that are stuffed and into which something is directed, moved, or applied.

In usage, täytettyihin denotes a plural noun in the illative case (into or toward the stuffed items). It contrasts with täytetyissä, which would describe items that are stuffed or filled in a locative sense (in the stuffed items). The form is common in culinary and recipe contexts, where cooks describe actions involving stuffing several pieces or portions.

Morphologically, täytettyihin consists of the base adjective täytetty plus the illative plural ending -ihin. This pattern illustrates how Finnish adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case, extending the participle into a directional illative phrase. The form can be used with various plural nouns, for example paprikoihin (into the stuffed peppers) or piirakoihin (into the stuffed pastries), depending on the dish and the phrase’s meaning.

Examples:

- Täytettyihin paprikoihin lisättiin juustoraastetta ennen paistamista. (Cheese was added to the stuffed peppers before baking.)

- Täytettyihin taikinakuoriin laitettiin täyte ja ne paistettiin hetken. (The filling was placed into the stuffed pastry shells and baked briefly.)

Related forms include täytetty, täytteet (fillings), and täyte (filling/noun). The term illuminates Finnish grammar’s handling of participles and case endings in descriptive phrases.
