vakiinnutettiin

Vakiinnutettiin is a Finnish verb form used to express that something was made stable, established, or standardized by someone or some authority. It is the passive past tense of the verb vakiinnuttaa, which can mean to establish, to consolidate, or to set a standard. In English this translates roughly to “was established,” “was consolidated,” or “was standardized.”

The expression is common in formal, administrative, legal, and organizational contexts. It describes processes in which a rule, practice, agreement, norm, or status has been fixed or officially confirmed. Examples include sentences like “Sääntö vakiinnutettiin valtioneuvoston päätöksellä” (The rule was established by an act of the Council of State) or “Uudet ohjeet vakiinnutettiin viime viikolla.” The passive form emphasizes the outcome rather than the agent performing the action.

Grammatically, vakiinnutettiin is the passive past tense form of vakiinnuttaa. Finnish verbs with this stem can form passive constructions in present and past tenses as vakiinnutetaan and vakiinnutettiin, respectively. The concept is closely related to vakiintuminen (to become established) and vakiinnuttaa (to establish something actively). However, vakiinnuttaa and vakiintua differ in voice and aspect: the former is transitive and causative, while the latter is intransitive and often describes something becoming established on its own.
