Laskettuun

Laskettuun is the illative singular form of the Finnish past passive participle laskettu, meaning calculated or computed. The base form laskettu derives from the verb laskea, meaning to count or to calculate, and it functions as an adjective or participial adjective in compounds and phrases. In Finnish, the illative case marks movement toward or direction into something, and the illative singular suffix for this adjective form is -uun, producing laskettuun. Therefore, laskettuun is used when referring to something that has been produced by calculation and is treated as the target of the action or consideration.

In usage, laskettuun describes a value, result, or state that has been calculated. It appears in phrases where a calculated item is the reference point or object of further discussion, such as in descriptions of data, estimates, or conclusions. The form emphasizes that the referenced entity has undergone calculation.

Examples of usage include: Päätös perustuu laskettuun tulokseen. (The decision is based on the calculated result.) Laskettuun arvoon viitataan tilastossa. (The computed value is referred to in the statistics.) Laskettuun summaan liittyviä lukuja tarkastellaan raportissa. (The figures related to the calculated sum are examined in the report.)

Laskettuun is a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item, and it is primarily found in formal or technical Finnish texts where calculated values or results are discussed. See also laskettu, laskea, and laskeminen for related linguistic and methodological concepts.
