vahvistetuissa

Vahvistetuissa is a Finnish grammatical form used as an adjective in the inessive plural of the past passive participle vahvistettu, from the verb vahvistaa meaning to confirm or verify. It describes items or information that have undergone verification and are located within or contained in those verified items. The inessive plural ending -issa/-issä marks a plural location, so vahvistetuissa literally means “in the verified ones.”

Usage and function

Vahvistetuissa modifies plural nouns such as asiakirjat (documents), tiedot (information), raportit (reports) or lauseet (statements). The form signals that the referenced items have been checked or validated. It is most common in formal or administrative and legal writing, where precise status of information is important.

Examples

- vahvistetuissa asiakirjoissa todetaan, että lupaa haettiin vuonna 2023. (the verified documents state that the permit was sought in 2023.)

- vahvistetuissa tiedoissa on huomautuksia. (there are remarks in the verified information.)

- raportit, vahvistetuissa luetteloissa, voidaan hyväksyä. (reports listed as verified may be approved.)

Relation to other forms

Vahvistetuissa is the plural inessive form; singular equivalents include vahvistetussa (in the verified). Other related forms expressing different syntax include vahvistetut (the verified ones, as a noun phrase or compound adjective) and vahvistettujen (genitive plural). The form is characteristic of Finnish compound adjectives formed from a participle to describe the state of multiple items.
