Muotoilluna

Muotoilluna is a Finnish term meaning formatted or styled, used to describe the state of a document, text, or design after formatting has been applied. It derives from the verb muotoilla, meaning to shape or format, and the participial form muotoiltuna. In practice, muotoilluna functions as an adjective or predicative phrase to designate presentational attributes rather than content.

In typical usage, muotoilluna appears with a copula, as in tiedosto on muotoiltuna or teksti on muotoiltuna. The emphasis is on the outcome of formatting—the applied style guidelines for typography, spacing, margins, headings, colors, and layout—rather than the process of formatting itself. It is common in technical writing, publishing, and design contexts where consistent presentation is important. The term may be contrasted with unformatted forms, such as muotoilemattomasti or muotoiltamaton, though muotoilluna is more often used to describe a completed state in formal or instructional text.

Etymology and related forms: muotoilluna comes from muotoilla plus a participial suffix, yielding a state-describing form akin to “formatted.” Related terms include muotoilu (design or formatting) and muotoiltu (formatted), which share the same semantic field and are widely used in Finnish language materials about style guidelines and document preparation.
