upotetuilla

Upotetuilla is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb upottaa, meaning to submerge, embed, or sink. It functions as the plural adessive form of the past participle upotettu. The adessive case marks location, so upotetuilla refers to multiple items or elements that are embedded or submerged and are located on or at something.

In use, upotetuilla appears in technical, architectural, archaeological, and descriptive texts to specify that several components or objects are integrated into another material or lie at the bottom of a structure. It can modify a noun within a noun phrase, for example in phrases like upotetuilla alustoilla (on embedded platforms), or appear in predicative constructions with the verb olla: kivet ovat upotetuilla alustoilla (the stones are on embedded platforms). It can also occur in expressions such as upotetuilla osilla varustettu laite (a device equipped with embedded components).

Morphology and grammar: upotettu is a past participle, and by adding the plural adessive suffix -illa/-illä, the form becomes upotetuilla to indicate multiple embedded items in the adessive case. The form is used both attributively and predicatively, agreeing in number with the noun it describes.

Etymology: built from upottaa + -ttu (past participle) and inflected for number and case with -illa/-illä for adessive plural.
