Ehdotetut

Ehdotetut is a Finnish adjective formed from the verb ehdottaa (to propose) with the past participle suffix -ttu. The form ehdotetut is the plural, attributive form meaning “the proposed” or “proposed ones,” and it is used to describe nouns that have been put forward for consideration. It is commonly found in official and administrative language, particularly in political, legislative, and municipal contexts.

In practice, you will encounter phrases such as ehdotetut lait (proposed laws), ehdotetut muutokset (proposed changes), and ehdotetut toimenpiteet (proposed measures). The term signals that the item has not been decided yet and is awaiting examination by a decision-making body, committee, or parliament. The corresponding singular form is ehdotettu, and the genitive forms include ehdotetun (singular) and ehdotettujen (plural/genitive). The inflection follows standard Finnish adjective rules, agreeing with the noun it modifies in number and case.

Ehdotetut items may originate from government ministries, committees, or members of parliament and can be subject to amendments, re-evaluation, or rejection during the legislative process. In documentation, labeling as ehdotetut helps readers distinguish between existing laws or decisions and those proposed for future consideration.
