Lopetettuja

Lopetettuja is a Finnish grammatical form used as a past passive participle of the verb lopettaa, meaning to terminate or end. As an adjective, it describes something that has been ended or ceased. The form is used in the partitive plural to modify a noun, for example lopetettuja projekteja (terminated projects) or lopetettuja sopimuksia (terminated contracts). The participle agrees with the noun in number and case, so the same idea can appear with different nouns and in different contexts.

In usage, lopetettuja typically appears in formal or administrative writing to indicate status or history. It signals that the referenced items have undergone a terminating action in the past and that the results affect the present inventory or records. For instance, a report might list lopetettuja projekteja, or archival notes might refer to lopetettuja sopimuksia. The construction is common in business, government, and research contexts where precise status descriptions are required.

Notes on nuance and related forms: lopetettuja is formed from lopettaa with the typical Finnish -ttu/-tty participle suffix and declines to match the noun in partitive plural. It should be distinguished from the noun lopetus (termination) and from other participle forms such as lopetettu (singular) or lopetetut (nominative plural). In practice, lopetettuja is most often seen before a noun in partitive plural, not as a standalone word. See also lopettaa, lopettaminen, lopetettu.
