vähennettyjä

Vähennettyjä is a Finnish word that translates to "reduced" or "diminished" in English. It is commonly used in various contexts to describe a state of decrease or lessening. For example, it can refer to a reduction in quantity, such as "vähennettyjä kaloreita" (reduced calories) or "vähennettyjä kustannuksia" (reduced costs). It can also signify a decrease in intensity or strength, like "vähennettyjä maanjäristyksiä" (reduced earthquakes) or "vähennettyjä oireita" (diminished symptoms).

In a more abstract sense, "vähennettyjä" can describe a state of being less than what was before. This might apply to a person's energy levels, "vähennettyjä voimia" (reduced strength), or a government's funding, "vähennettyjä tukia" (reduced subsidies). The word emphasizes the act of taking away or subtracting from something. It can be used in both positive and negative contexts, depending on what is being reduced. For instance, a reduction in pollution would be viewed positively, while a reduction in essential services might be seen negatively. The grammatical form "vähennettyjä" is the plural partitive case of the past participle of the verb "vähentää," meaning "to reduce."
