äännettyjen

"Äännettyjen" is a Finnish word that translates to "pronounced" or "uttered" in English. It is the genitive plural form of the past passive participle of the verb "äännellä," which means "to make a sound," "to utter," or "to pronounce." This grammatical form indicates possession or relation to multiple things that have been pronounced or uttered.

For instance, in a sentence like "Kirjailijan äännettyjen sanojen merkitys oli syvällinen," the word "äännettyjen" refers to the "pronounced words" of the author. The genitive case here shows that the "meaning" belongs to or is related to these "pronounced words." It can also be used to describe sounds that have been made, such as "lintujen äännettyjen sävelten kauneus" (the beauty of the birds' uttered melodies). The context of the sentence will determine whether it refers to spoken words, sounds, or other forms of utterance. Understanding the grammatical function of the genitive plural is key to correctly interpreting the meaning of "äännettyjen" in Finnish.
