Reiitetystä

Reiitetystä is a Finnish inflected form of the past passive participle reiitetty, meaning perforated. The form is the elative (from) or sometimes used in a broader grammatical sense to indicate origin, source, or material in a noun phrase. In practice, reiitetystä functions as part of a larger expression such as reiitetystä materiaalista or reiitetystä metallilevystä, where it describes material that has been perforated.

Usage and meaning

As an attributive or adnominal participle, reiitetystä describes something made with perforations. It is common in contexts such as manufacturing, design, architecture, and electronics where perforated sheets, panels, or membranes are used. The phrase conveys both the characteristic of having holes and, when linked with materiaalin or levyn, the idea that the item comes from or is made of perforated material.

Examples

- Koneen etuosa on reiitetystä teräslevystä. (The front of the machine is made from a perforated steel sheet.)

- Sijoitusreiät ovat reiitetystä materiaalista. (The aperture holes are from perforated material.)

- Reiitetystä metallilevystä valmistettu suojus tarjoaa sekä valvonnan että ilmanvaihdon. (A shield made from perforated metal sheet provides both monitoring and ventilation.)
