Editoitu

Editoitu is a Finnish adjective meaning "edited." It describes content that has undergone editing after its creation, such as text, audio, video, or images, indicating that adjustments or refinements have been made from the original material.

The verb editoida, meaning "to edit," is a loanword from English and has given rise to the participle editoitu. Related terms include editointi, the process of editing, and editoija, the person who edits. The language uses these forms to discuss changes made in post-production or revision.

In usage, editoitu appears in contexts such as editoitu video, editoitu teksti, or editoitu kuva. It signals that content has been modified, which can affect aspects like length, clarity, color, or sound. It is commonly found in journalism, publishing, and digital media, where distinguishing edited material from raw or original content is important for accuracy and licensing.

Notes and limitations: editoitu does not specify what specific edits were made. For clearer communication, speakers may specify the nature of the edits, such as leikkaukset (cuts), korjaukset (corrections), or lisäykset (additions). The term also interacts with discussions about verifiability and authenticity, particularly when describing media in metadata or citations.
