Huomautettu

Huomautettu is a Finnish word formed as the past passive participle of the verb huomauttaa, meaning to remark, note, point out, or warn. As a participle it denotes that something has been noted or brought to attention by someone else. It is used both as an adjective and in verbal constructions with auxiliary verbs, most commonly in the present perfect or past tense.

In practical use, huomautettu indicates that an issue, observation, or remark has been recorded or highlighted. For example, in a report one might say, “Raportissa on huomautettu puutteista” (the report notes the shortcomings), or, in a directive context, “Hänet on huomautettu useaan otteeseen” (he has been admonished repeatedly). The nuance can range from a neutral note to a formal warning, depending on context and accompanying nouns such as huomautus (note, remark, warning) or huomautettava (that which should be noted).
