Esiasetettuja

Esiasetettuja is a Finnish term used to describe items or configurations that have been prepared in advance and are ready for use. It is the plural partitive form of esiasetettu, an adjective describing something that has been pre-configured or preloaded.

Etymology and form: The word combines esi-, a prefix meaning “before” or “pre-,” with asettaa, meaning “to set” or “to place.” The past passive participle is esiasetettu; when referring to multiple items, the form esiasetettuja is used with nouns in the partitive case, as in esiasetettuja profiileja or esiasetettuja asetuksia.

Usage: Esiasetettuja is common in technology, consumer electronics, software, and product documentation to indicate defaults or pre-loaded options. It is often used to describe profiles, settings, configurations, or values that come pre-installed or preconfigured before user adjustment. The term emphasizes convenience or standardization by reducing the need for initial setup.

Examples: Laite sisältää esiasetettuja profiileja. Ohjelma tarjoaa esiasetettuja asetuksia. Käyttäjä voi muokata esiasetettuja arvoja tarvittaessa. In manuals, esiasetettuja tiloja can refer to preset operating modes.
