Luetteloiduista

Luetteloiduista is a Finnish grammatical form, the elative plural form of luetteloitu, which means “listed” or “enumerated.” It refers to items that have been included in a list or catalog and is used to describe these items in contexts where the surrounding nouns are in the same case, typically in elative phrases like “luetteloiduista lähteistä” (from the listed sources).

The word is formed from the verb luetteloida (to list, enumerate) with the past passive participle suffix -tu, producing luetteloitu, and the standard Finnish plural ending -ista/-istä for the elative plural. As an inflected participle used adjectivally, luetteloiduista modifies a following noun in the elative plural, indicating that the noun’s referents are the ones that were listed previously.

Usage of luetteloiduista is common in academic, bibliographic, and legal writing, where it is necessary to distinguish between items that have been enumerated and those that have not. It can occur in phrases such as luetteloiduista lähteistä (from the listed sources) or luetteloiduista aineistoista (from the listed materials). The form communicates that the set of items has already been defined or compiled earlier in the text.

Relation to other forms includes luetteloitu (the participial adjective in singular) and luetteloidut (the nominative plural). Luetteloiduista is part of Finnish’s system of participial adjectives that agree with the noun in case and number, enabling concise reference to previously enumerated elements without repeating the head noun.
