Nostetut

Nostetut is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the plural past passive participle of the verb nostaa, meaning to raise or lift. As a participle, nostetut can function as an adjective describing nouns, and it agrees in number with the noun it modifies. The related singular form is nostettu.

In Finnish, participles like nostetut are commonly used in both attributive and predicative positions. They derive from the verb nostaa and carry the sense that something has undergone the action of lifting or raising. Because Finnish participles behave like adjectives, nostetut is declined to match the case and number of the noun it attaches to, for example nostetut tavarat (the items that have been raised/lifted) in the nominative plural, or nostettujen tavaroiden in the genitive plural.

Nostetut can describe physical movement, such as objects that have been hoisted, as well as figurative elevations, such as levels, prices, or expectations that have been increased, depending on context. In practice, the exact nuance is determined by the surrounding words and the noun the participle modifies.

Related forms include nostettu (singular), nostetut (plural), and other participial or nominal derivatives from nostaa. The word is primarily a grammatical tool in Finnish and is not typically used as an independent lexical item outside of such constructions.
