Käsitelty

Käsitelty is a Finnish past participle form of the verb käsitellä, which means to handle, process, or deal with. Used as an adjective, käsitelty describes something that has undergone handling, processing, or treatment. The term is common in many fields, including information processing (tietojenkäsittely), manufacturing (käsitelty materiaali), science, and administrative contexts, where it signals that a step has been completed rather than merely started.

Grammatically, käsitelty is the past participle and behaves like an ordinary Finnish adjective, agreeing with the noun in number and case. It can be combined with various nouns to form phrases such as käsitelty tieto (processed data) and käsitelty materiaali (processed material). In legal or organizational language, the phrase asia on käsitelty can mean that an issue has been addressed or dealt with.

Etymology and related forms: the word derives from the verb käsitellä and its related noun käsittely, meaning processing or treatment. The participle is part of a broader family of Finnish past participles that can function attributively (before a noun) or predicatively (with a linking verb).
