Liuennettu

Liuennettu is a Finnish adjective meaning diluted, describing a liquid or solution whose concentration has been reduced relative to a reference state, such as a stock or concentrated form. The term is primarily used in scientific, medical, and industrial contexts, where precise information about solute concentration is important. It can also appear in dietary or consumer product descriptions to indicate preparation by dilution.

In chemistry and pharmacology, a liuennettu liuos is a solution prepared by adding solvent to a concentrate, resulting in a lower molarity or mass fraction of solute. The extent of dilution is usually quantified with a dilution factor, final concentration, or percent composition, sometimes accompanied by instructions for preparation or safety considerations.

Etymology and grammar: The word is derived from the Finnish root "liu-" related to dissolution and dilution. Liuennettu is the past passive participle form, used to describe something that has undergone the action of dilution. It may appear attributively (liuennettu liuos) or predicatively in Finnish sentences.
