Sometimes my students say things like Tämä on tehnyt Suomessa when it should be Tämä on tehty Suomessa. (This is/was made in Finland). Notice how Finnish has THREE different verb forms that can mean the same as the English past participle form of a verb. You know, the -ed form or something irregular.
- tehnyt is an active past participle
- tehty is a passive past participle
- tekemä is an agent participle
Here are more examples:
baked
- En ole leiponut mitään pitkään aikaan. - I haven't baked anything for a long time.
- Tämä on leivottu rakkaudella. - This is baked with love.
- Tämä on kaikkien aikojen paras leipomani kakku! - This is the best cake I've ever baked.
written
- Oletko sinä kirjoittanut tämän? - Have you written this?
- Tämä on kirjoitettu kauan sitten. - This was written (has been written) a long time ago.
- Kenen kirjoittama tämä on? - Who wrote this? (By whom is this written?)
built
- En ole koskaan rakentanut mitään. - I have never built anything.
- Tämä talo on rakennettu 1960-luvulla. - This house was built (is built) in the 60's.
- Tämä talo on isäni rakentama. - This house was built (is built) by my father.
