Määritellut

Määritellut is a Finnish word that translates to "defined" or "specified" in English. It is commonly used in various contexts, including technical, legal, and general language, to indicate that something has been clearly stated, explained, or limited.

In a technical or scientific context, "määritellyt" refers to parameters, variables, or conditions that have been precisely set or described. For example, a measurement might be performed under "määritellyt olosuhteet" (defined conditions), meaning the experiment was conducted with specific and controlled environmental factors. Similarly, software functions or algorithms can have "määritellyt syötteet" (defined inputs), meaning the type and format of data they expect are clearly established.

In legal and administrative settings, "määritellyt" denotes terms, obligations, or rights that are explicitly outlined in a contract, law, or regulation. A "määritelty tehtävä" (defined task) signifies a responsibility that is clearly assigned and described. Legal documents often contain sections where terms are "määritelty" to avoid ambiguity and ensure consistent interpretation.

In everyday language, "määritellyt" can simply mean something is clear, certain, or has a specific purpose. For instance, one might refer to "määritellyt tavoitteet" (defined goals), implying that the objectives are well-understood and agreed upon. The word emphasizes clarity and precision in communication and understanding.
