yhteenliitetyn

Yhteenliitetyn is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective yhteenliitetty, which means joined, concatenated or combined. It describes something that has been connected with other parts to form a single unit. The adjective is derived from the verb yhteenliittää, meaning “to join together.”

The form yhteenliitetyn is used when the adjective modifies a noun in a genitive or other case within a noun phrase. Common contexts include computing, mathematics and linguistics, where several elements are treated as a single, joined entity. Examples in use include yhteenliitetyn merkkijonon pituus (the length of the concatenated string) or yhteenliitetyn tiedoston sisältö (the contents of the concatenated file).

Grammatical note: Finnish adjectives decline with the noun they modify. Nominative singular is yhteenliitetty, genitive singular is yhteenliitetyn, and the form changes further for plural and other cases (for example yhteenliitettyjen in the genitive plural). This flexibility allows yhteenliitetyn to function in a wide range of noun phrases describing a joined or concatenated entity.
