Labeloitu

Labeloitu is a Finnish adjective meaning “labeled” or “tagged.” It is formed from the verb labeloida, which means to label, and the past participle suffix -tu, yielding the sense that an object has received a label or identifying tag. As a past passive participle, labeloitu commonly functions attributively to describe nouns, for example as labeloitu tuote (a labeled product), labeloitu kuva-aineisto (a labeled image dataset), or labeloitu tiedosto (a labeled file).

In usage, labeloitu is prevalent in both everyday and technical contexts. In logistics and commerce, it describes items with attached labels or identifiers. In information technology and data science, labeloitu data refers to data that has been annotated with labels or categories for supervised learning and evaluation. The term is often used alongside labelointi (the process of labeling) and merkitty (marked), though labeloitu emphasizes the presence of an actual label rather than a general mark.

Linguistically, labeloitu is the standard form for describing a single labeled item, with plural form labeloidut and grammatical inflections following Finnish noun-adjective agreement patterns. The word illustrates Finnish compounding and participle-based adjective formation and is part of a broader vocabulary around labeling, tagging, and annotation across industry and research contexts.
