yhdistetystä

Yhdistetystä is a Finnish word that functions as the elative singular form of the past passive participle yhdistetty, meaning combined or joined. It is used to indicate origin or source in relation to a noun, similar to phrases like “from the combined X.”

In Finnish, participles and adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case. The elative case, indicated by the suffix -stä or -stä, expresses motion from or origin from something. Therefore yhdistetystä is formed to mean “from the combined/joint [thing],” and it requires a matching noun in the sentence, often with accompanying case markings such as projektista or ohjelmistosta.

Usage examples include contexts in technical or formal writing. For instance, raporitoiminnan yhteydessä: “Raportti pohjautuu yhdistetystä projektista kerättyyn dataan,” meaning the report is based on data collected from the combined project. Another example: “Yhdistetystä ohjelmistosta löytyi uusia toimintoja,” meaning new features were found in the combined software. Because it is a case form of a participle, yhdistetystä is not a standalone base word but a grammatical form used to describe or specify the source of something.

Related terms and notes: yhdistetty is the base past passive participle; yhdistää is the verb meaning to combine; elatiivi (elative) is the grammatical case category to which -stä/-stä belongs. Understanding yhdistetystä requires recognizing its role as a case-inflected modifier rather than a separate lexical item.
