Hylkätty

Hylkätty is a Finnish adjective and past participle form of the verb hylätä, meaning that something has been rejected, dismissed, or discarded by an authority or process. It is used to describe decisions, proposals, claims, or items that have not been accepted or approved.

The term is commonly found in administrative, legal, educational, and everyday contexts. For example, hylätty hakemus refers to an application that has been rejected, such as a permit, grant, or residence permit. A hylätty päätös is a decision that has been dismissed or overturned, while hylätty tarjous denotes a bid that was not accepted in a procurement process. In education, hylätty koe or hylätty arvosana signals an exam or grade that did not meet the required standard.

In addition to its use with concrete objects or processes, hylkätty can describe broader conclusions or initiatives that were abandoned or deemed unworthy of further consideration. The related noun hylkäys denotes the act of rejection or dismissal, and the verb hylätä is used to describe the action itself. The opposite concepts include hyväksytty (approved) or kelvollinen (acceptable), depending on context.

Usage notes: hylätty agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, as in hylätty hakemus (singular) or hylätyt hakemukset (plural). The form is standard in formal and bureaucratic language, but it may appear in media reports, legal documents, and educational announcements as well as in everyday speech when describing rejected items or decisions.
