Diskontattua

Diskontattua is a Finnish linguistic form, specifically the partitive singular form of the past participle of the verb diskontata, meaning that something has been discounted. It is most often used to describe prices, values, or cash flows that have been reduced through a discount.

Diskontata itself is a loanword from English discount, likely entering Finnish via Swedish or German linguistic channels. The participle forms follow standard Finnish morphology, with diskontattu as the nominative form and diskontattua appearing in partitive contexts. In practice, diskontattua is most common in formal or written Finnish, particularly in finance, retail communication, and pricing discussions. In everyday speech, people frequently use more general terms such as alennettu or alennettu hinta.

Common usages include phrases such as diskontattu hinta (the discounted price) or diskontattua arvoa (the discounted value). The form is used when the discounted item or amount is the object of a verb or part of a larger noun phrase. An example sentence is: Myyntiesitteessä on mainittu diskontattua hintaa, joka on 20 prosenttia halvemmassa kuin normaalihinta.

Notes and related terms: diskontti is the noun for the discount itself, while diskonttaus refers to the discounting process. Diskontattua is distinct from other Finnish adjectives for discounting and is most readily found in technical or formal contexts related to pricing, valuation, and financial calculations.
