Päivämäärätty

Päivämäärätty is a Finnish word that translates to "dated" or "specific date" in English. It is used to refer to something that has a particular date assigned to it, or that is meant to occur on a certain day. The word is formed by combining "päivä" (day) and "määrätty" (assigned, determined, or fixed).

In practical use, päivämäärätty can describe documents that have a specific date of creation or issuance, such as a dated contract or a dated letter. It can also refer to events or appointments that are scheduled for a particular day, like a dated meeting or a dated delivery. The term emphasizes the certainty and specificity of the timing involved.

For example, one might say "sopimus on päivämäärätty" which means "the contract is dated." Similarly, "tapaaminen on päivämäärätty ensi viikolle" translates to "the meeting is scheduled for next week," highlighting that a specific day within that week has been chosen. The opposite of something being päivämäärätty would be something that is indefinite or open-ended in its timing. The word's construction clearly conveys the idea of a day being set or fixed.
