Diagnosoitiin

Diagnosoitiin is a Finnish verb form meaning "was diagnosed" or "were diagnosed." It is the past passive tense of the verb diagnosoida, which means "to diagnose." In this form, the subject who performed the diagnosis is not specified, and the emphasis is on the result of the diagnostic action.

In medical and clinical contexts, diagnosoitiin is commonly used to report a diagnosis made for a patient. For example: Potilaalle diagnosoitiin diabetes. Translation: The patient was diagnosed with diabetes. Useita sairauksia diagnosoitiin potilaalla. Translation: Several diseases were diagnosed in the patient. The object of the diagnosis—such as diabetes or another condition—appears in the sentence following the verb.

Morphology and usage notes: The form is part of the Finnish passive system and indicates that the action was completed in the past. The agent (who performed the diagnosis) is typically implicit. Diagnosoitiin is often found in medical records, study reports, and clinical communications, where the focus is on the diagnosis itself rather than the diagnostician.

Etymology and related forms: The verb diagnosoida is built from the stem diagnos- plus the infinitive ending -oda, with the noun for the action being diagnoosi (diagnosis). Related forms include diagnosoida (to diagnose), diagnosoidaan (present passive, "is/are diagnosed"), and diagnosoitiin (past passive, "was/were diagnosed").
