Korvattua

Korvattua is a Finnish word derived from the verb korvata, meaning to compensate, reimburse, replace, or substitute. It is the past passive participle korvattu in the partitive singular form, used in noun phrases to indicate that compensation has occurred or to describe damages, costs, or losses that have been compensated.

In usage, korvattua typically appears in contexts where the object of compensation is treated as a partitive item. This occurs in legal, insurance, and administrative language as well as in general Finnish, especially when referring to damages or costs that have already been compensated. The form is most commonly found in phrases such as korvattua vahinkoa, meaning damages that have been compensated, or in sentences that describe conditions or rules pertaining to compensated items.

Grammatically, korvattua is the partitive singular of the past passive participle korvattu. It agrees with the noun it modifies in partitive case. This makes it a flexible tool for documenting the outcome of compensation processes without specifying a definite quantity or mass.

Examples:

- Korvattua vahinkoa koskevat säännökset ovat selkeät. (The provisions concerning damages that have been compensated are clear.)

- Tutkimuksessa viitataan korvattua vahinkoa koskeviin menettelyihin. (The study refers to procedures concerning damages that have been compensated.)

Related terms include korvaus (compensation or reimbursement), korvata (to compensate, reimburse, replace), and korvausperusteet (grounds for compensation). Korvattua serves as a grammatical tool to mark completion of compensation within noun phrases, providing precision in descriptions of financial or material restitution.
