vihastunutta

Vihastunutta is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb vihastua, meaning to become angry. It is the partitive singular form of the past participle vihastunut, which functions as an adjective describing someone who has become angry or something characterized by anger.

In usage, vihastunutta is used when the participle modifies a noun in the partitive case. For example: "Hän kohtasi vihastunutta miestä" translates to "He met an angry man," with vihastunutta agreeing with the noun in its partitive form. The form also appears in phrases such as "vihastunutta ilmettä" (an angry expression) or "vihastunutta väkeä" (angry crowds), where the modifying participle is in the partitive singular.

Grammar notes: Finnish participles decline like adjectives and agree with the noun they modify in number and case. The partitive singular form vihastunutta marks that the affected noun is in the partitive case. The corresponding plural form is vihastuneita for plural references.

Relation to other forms: The base participle vihastunut appears in the nominative singular as a straightforward descriptive form (e.g., "vihastunut mies" – an angry man), while vihastunutta specifically appears in contexts requiring the partitive case. This distinction is a feature of Finnish grammar rather than a separate lexical item.
