vaihdetuiksi

Vaihdetuiksi is a Finnish word that translates to "having been changed" or "having been exchanged" in English. It is the past passive participle plural form of the verb "vaihtaa," which means to change, exchange, or swap. This grammatical form is used when referring to multiple things or individuals that have undergone a transformation or been replaced.

For example, if a group of items has been replaced with newer models, one might say that the items "ovat vaihdettuiksi" (have been changed). Similarly, if a group of people has swapped roles or positions, the same grammatical construction could be applied. The specific context in which "vaihdetuiksi" is used determines the precise meaning. It implies that the action of changing or exchanging has already occurred and affects a plurality of subjects. The root verb "vaihtaa" is versatile, and its passive participle can describe various forms of alteration, from a simple swap of objects to a more profound metamorphosis. Understanding this grammatical form is key to comprehending sentences in Finnish where multiple entities are described as having undergone a change or exchange.
