Hyväksytty

Hyväksytty is a Finnish adjective formed from the verb hyväksyä, meaning to accept or approve. It denotes that something has received formal approval or acceptance by an authority, organization, or rule. In use, hyvaksytty describes documents, plans, applications, decisions, and other items that have been officially sanctioned. For example, a plan or a bid can be referred to as a “hyväksytty suunnitelma” or a “hyväksytty tarjous.” The term can also function predicatively, as in “Päätös on hyväksytty.”

Grammatical note: hyvaksytty is a past passive participle and is declined like other -tty adjectives in Finnish. The nominative singular form is hyvaksytty, and the nominative plural form is hyväksytyt. Other cases follow standard Finnish declension patterns for adjectives ending in -tty, and the word commonly appears in compound noun phrases with nouns such as päätös (decision), hakemus (application), tai suunnitelma (plan).

Usage context: In official, administrative, and legal Finnish, hyväksytty appears frequently to indicate that a submission or document has passed review or received approval. It contrasts with hylätty, meaning rejected, and with terms such as hyväksyntä or hyväksyä, which refer to the act of approving or the process of approval.

Related terms: hyväksyä (to approve/accept), hyväksyntä (approval/endorsement), hyväksyminen (the act of approving). The concept is also used in procurement, education, construction, and regulatory contexts to mark items that have met required criteria.
