vaihdetut

Vaihdetut is a Finnish participial form that functions as an adjective meaning “that have been replaced” or “swapped.” It is derived from the verb vaihtaa, which means to change, swap, or substitute. In practical use it describes objects or parts that have undergone replacement, for example in maintenance, manufacturing, or logistics contexts. Phrases such as vaihdettujen osien lista or vaihdetut osat convey that certain components have been swapped.

In grammar, vaihdetut is the nominative plural form of the past passive participle. Like other participles used as adjectives, it agrees with the noun in number and case. In genitive plural you would typically see vaihdettujen osien, in partitive plural vaihdettuja osia, and so on. The form is always accompanied by a noun that it modifies, for instance vaihdetut osat (the replaced parts) or vaihdettujen komponenttien määrä (the amount of replaced components).

Usage and scope: vaihdetut appears mainly in technical writing, manuals, maintenance records, and inventories, where it provides a concise way to indicate that elements have been swapped or upgraded. It is less common in casual everyday language, where more explicit phrases such as “on vaihdettu” or “on vaihdettu osa” might be used instead. Related terms include vaihtaa (to change/swap), vaihto (change/exchange), and vaihdettu (past participle singular).

Overall, vaihdetut is a specialized grammatical tool in Finnish that helps describe objects that have undergone replacement, particularly in technical or systematic documentation.
