Mitattuna

Mitattuna is a Finnish non-finite verb form derived from the verb mitata, meaning to measure. It conveys that something has been measured or is in a state resulting from measurement. In Finnish, mitattuna is used primarily in formal or technical language to describe data, results, or conditions that stem from measurement.

In practical use, mitattuna appears in written texts that report or discuss measured values. It is encountered in scientific, engineering, and statistical writing as a way to link a result to the underlying measurement process. The form can function as an adjectival or adverbial participle, modifying nouns or clauses to indicate that the described data or condition comes from measurement rather than from estimation or assumption.

Formation and relation to other forms: mitattuna is one of several participial forms that Finnish grammar provides for verbs. It is related to the past passive participle mitattu (measured) and to other participial and gerund-like constructions derived from mitata. While mitattuna has a specific usage in describing results or states tied to measurement, it is not a standalone lexical entry but a grammatical form that appears in appropriate contexts.

Usage notes: Because mitattuna signals a data-derived state, it is most common in reports, lab notes, technical documentation, and other text aiming for precision about what has been observed. Its exact placement and agreement depend on the surrounding noun phrases and sentence structure, as with other Finnish participial forms.
