Myyty

Myyty is a Finnish word meaning “sold.” It is the past passive participle of the verb myydä, which means to sell. As a participle used as an adjective, myyty describes something that has already been sold. It can appear in predicate position, for example: Talo on myyty (The house has been sold). It can also modify a noun directly, as in myyty auto (a sold car). In plural and various cases it inflects like other Finnish adjectives, for instance myytyjä autoja (sold cars).

For contexts where an item is available to be purchased, different forms are used, such as myytävänä, meaning “for sale.” The related nouns include myynti (sale), myyjä (seller), and myyntihinta (sale price). The term myyty is common in real estate, commerce, and second-hand trades to indicate status, and is frequently used in news reporting and listings to denote that a transaction has been completed.

Etymology and grammar: myyty derives from the verb myydä and the standard past passive participle suffix -ty, producing a form that behaves as an adjective agreeing with the noun it describes. The word functions without a separate international sense and is not used as a proper noun.
