Ostetusta

Ostetusta is the elative singular form of the Finnish past passive participle ostettu, which means “bought” or “purchased.” It is derived from the verb ostaa (to buy) and functions as an adjective in Finnish grammar. Like other participles, ostettu is declined to agree with the noun it describes, and ostetusta represents the elative case, used to express source or origin in phrases.

In practice, ostetusta is used to describe items or matters that have been purchased, distinguishing them from items that are produced, returned, or otherwise obtained. It commonly appears in procurement, inventory management, accounting, and legal language, where a clear distinction between purchased goods and other categories is important.

Examples:

- Ostetusta tavarasta koostuva erä tarkoittaa asiakkaalle toimitettavaa pakettia. (A batch consisting of purchased goods.)

- Ostetusta varastosta löytyi loput tuotteet. (The remaining products were found from the purchased stock.)

- Ostetusta tavarasta laaditaan lasku. (An invoice is prepared for the purchased goods.)

Notes:

- Ostetusta is the elative form; other cases of the participle ostettu are used with different suffixes to fit the grammatical context.

- The form is typically used in noun phrases to indicate that the referenced goods or items have been acquired rather than produced in-house.
