Pyydetyt

Pyydetyt is a Finnish adjective formed from the verb pyytää, meaning to request or to demand. It functions as a past passive participle and is used to describe nouns that have undergone the action of being requested. The form pyydetyt is the plural nominative and is commonly placed before the noun, as in pyydetyt tiedot (the requested data) or pyydetyt asiakirjat (the requested documents).

In Finnish grammar, pyydetty refers to the singular form, while pyydetyt corresponds to the plural. The word agrees with the noun in number and case and conveys status rather than agent. It is frequently used in official, journalistic, and bureaucratic language to indicate that information or materials were asked for and provided or withheld.

Examples include: Pyydetyt tiedot toimitettiin viranomaisille viime viikolla. Pyydetyt asiakirjat lähetettiin postitse. In news reporting, phrases like pyydetyt tiedot are used to describe disclosures that were requested; in legal contexts one might encounter pyydettyjen tietojen käsittely to refer to the handling of the requested data.

Pyydetyt is therefore a common grammatical tool to denote an item that has been requested, reflecting a key aspect of information requests in Finnish administrative and media language. Related terms include pyydetty (singular past participle) and pyynnöstä hierarchy in which requests and responses are described.
