Ilmoitetusta

Ilmoitetusta is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the elative singular form of the past passive participle ilmoitettu, which means “announced” or “reported.” The form belongs to the adjective/participial family and is used to describe nouns in a way that indicates they come from or pertain to something that has been announced.

Formation and usage. The stem ilmoitet- comes from the verb ilmoittaa (to announce, inform). The elative case suffix -sta or -stä is attached to the participial stem, yielding ilmoitetusta. As an adjective-like form, ilmoitetusta agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. In practice, it is used to refer to information, statements, or sources that have been publicly announced or reported by someone. For example, ilmoitetusta tiedosta means “from the information that has been announced,” and ilmoitetusta lähteestä means “from the announced source.”

Context and nuance. Ilmoitetusta does not by itself assert truth or reliability; it marks that the referenced material originated in an announcement or report. In formal writing, it often appears in reporting, summaries of official communications, or scholarly discussions where the provenance of information is relevant.

Related forms. The base participle ilmoitettu is the masculine/neuter form used in other cases; other case forms include ilmoitetusta (elative), ilmoitettuun (illative), and ilmoitettujen (genitive plural). Related concepts include ilmoitus (announcement) and ilmoittaminen (announcing).
