Edustettu

Edustettu is a Finnish word formed as the past passive participle of the verb edustaa, meaning to represent. It functions as an adjective describing someone or something that has been represented by another party in a given context. The term is common in formal language, especially in legal, administrative, and political settings where representation is routine.

In usage, edustettu typically modifies a noun, for example: edustettu henkilö (the represented person) or edustetut ryhmät (the represented groups). The form is inflected like other Finnish participles and can appear in different cases and numbers, such as edustettu, edustetut, edustetun, edustettujen, and edustettuna, among others, depending on the grammatical role in a sentence. It is often used to indicate that an individual or a group receives representation, for instance by a lawyer, a delegation, or another authorized representative.

Common contexts include describing legal representation in court, administrative representation in hearings, or political representation in councils and assemblies. The concept emphasizes the relation between the represented party and the agent acting on their behalf, rather than the agent’s own actions.

Related terms in Finnish include edustaa (to represent), edustus (representation), and edustajaresursit (in some contexts). The word edustettu helps convey formal notions of delegation and standing within official discourse.

In sum, edustettu is a standard Finnish participial adjective used to denote that someone or something has been represented, and it appears across legal, administrative, and political language.
