Postoupilo

Postoupilo is the transliteration of the Russian word поступило, the neuter singular past tense form of the verb поступить. In Russian-language usage, поступило means that something has arrived, been received, or become available. In transliterated texts, the form is usually written as postupilo, but occasional variants such as postoupilo appear in nonstandard renderings.

Etymology and meaning. The form поступило comes from the perfective verb поступить, which covers senses including to enroll or join (to begin a course or position), to act in a certain way, and to come in or be received. The neuter past tense is used when the grammatical subject is a neuter noun such as сообщение (message), письмо (letter), or заявление (application). The core sense in most reporting contexts is “it has been received/arrived.”

Usage. Postupilo is common in formal or bureaucratic writing, especially in reports, notices, and press releases to indicate that information or documents have been received. Examples include Сообщение поступило (The message has been received) or Заявление поступило в редакцию (The application has been received by the editorial office). The form is not typically used in everyday conversation, where more direct verbs are common.

Transliteration note. In standard Latin-script transliteration of Russian, поступило is written as postupilo. The variant postoupilo occurs less frequently and may reflect nonstandard transliteration or typographical variation.
