Pelastetuista

Pelastetuista is a Finnish noun-form that refers to people who have been rescued from danger. It is derived from pelastettu, the past participle of pelastaa, meaning “to rescue,” and is used as a substantive to denote the group of survivors or rescued individuals in a crisis context.

In Finnish media and official communications, pelastetuista commonly appears in phrases such as pelastetuista lapsista (of the rescued children) or pelastetuista matkustajista (of the rescued passengers). The form is a case-inflected variation that reflects its role in a sentence; the exact meaning depends on its grammatical function, but it generally designates a group defined by having been rescued.

Pelastetuista contrasts with pelastetut, which refers to the rescued as a simple subject or object in nominative or other basic cases, while pelastettu describes the condition of being rescued (the rescued person) more as an adjective. The distinction is mainly grammatical, helping to specify whether one is speaking of the group in question or of individuals described by the state of being rescued.

Related terms include pelastetut (the rescued ones), pelastus (rescue), and hätätilanne (emergency). The term appears in news reporting, humanitarian communications, and administrative or legal texts when listing or describing survivors, response operations, or affected populations.
