Laatoitettuja

Laatoitettuja is a Finnish word formed as the partitive plural of the past passive participle laatoitettu, from the verb laatoittaa, meaning to tile or tile with ceramic tiles. It is used to describe multiple objects or surfaces that have been tiled. The base noun related to tiling is laatoitus (the tiling) or laatta (tile), and laatoitettuja functions as an adjective in its partitive plural form.

In usage, laatoitettuja appears in contexts such as construction, renovation, interior design, and architectural documentation. It denotes completed tiling rather than the act of tiling itself and can describe various surfaces, including floors, walls, or other spaces. The form is typically used when the affected items are indefinite or part of a larger statement, often following verbs or in noun phrases that require the partitive case.
