Peruutettuja

Peruutettuja is a Finnish word form, functioning as the plural partitive form of the past participle peruutettu, which comes from the verb peruuttaa meaning to cancel. It is used to describe items that have been canceled, particularly when the noun it modifies is in the partitive case or when referring to an indefinite quantity.

Examples of usage include: "Peruutettuja lippuja ei voi käyttää" (Canceled tickets cannot be used); "Peruutettuja varauksia on ilmoitettu" (There have been canceled reservations). In contrast, with definite plural nouns in the nominative case, the corresponding form is "peruutetut," as in "Peruutetut liput" (the canceled tickets). The form "peruutettuja" is also common in predicative constructions where the object is expressed in partitive, though usage can vary with emphasis and sentence structure.

Grammatical note: peruutettuja is the plural partitive of the participle, so it inflects to agree with plural nouns in partitive. The underlying meaning remains “that have been canceled.” The related forms include peruutus (cancellation) and peruuttaa (to cancel). In formal writing and administrative contexts, peruutettuja is frequently used when listing or describing multiple canceled items whose quantity is not specified.
