Laadittu

Laadittu is Finnish, functioning as the past passive participle of the verb laatia, which means to draft, prepare, or compose. It is used to describe a text, document, or plan that has been prepared and is ready for review or approval. The term is common in formal and administrative contexts, such as reports, contracts, or project plans.

Etymology and form: Laadittu is formed from the verb root laad- combined with the participle suffix -ittu, yielding a past passive participle. As an adjective, it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, so you can have phrases like laadittu raportti (the drafted report) or laaditut sopimukset (the drafted contracts). Predicatively it appears in sentences such as Raportti on laadittu (The report has been drafted).

Usage: Laadittu can function as either a modifier or a predicate. Common collocations include laadittu sopimus (a drafted contract), laadittu suunnitelma (a drafted plan), or laadittu raportti (a drafted report). To indicate the agent responsible for drafting, a phrase such as laatijan toimesta or laatimisen yhteydessä can be used, though often the agent is left understood from context.

Context and nuance: The term signals that a document has gone through the drafting phase, but it does not itself certify accuracy or final approval. A document described as laadittu may still require revisions, validation, or sign-off before it becomes binding or official.
