Siistitty

Siistitty is a Finnish word that functions as a past participle adjective meaning “tidied” or “cleaned up.” It describes something that has undergone cleaning or tidying, resulting in a neat, orderly state.

Morphology and use: It is formed from the root siisti- (neat, clean) with the participial suffix -tty, producing a word that denotes the completed action of tidying. It can be used attributively, as in siistitty keittiö (the tidied kitchen), or predicatively, as in Keittiö on siistitty (the kitchen has been tidied).

Common contexts: The term is used for physical spaces such as rooms, vehicles, or surfaces, but it can also apply to content, documents, or software that has been revised to remove clutter or errors. Examples include siistitty tiedosto (tidied/cleaned file) or siistitty versio ohjelmistosta (a cleaned-up version of the software).

Nuance and related terms: Siisti describes the general state of neatness, while siistitty emphasizes the completion of a cleaning action. The form is standard Finnish and widely understood, though it is more common in written or formal contexts when describing a specific result rather than a general trait.
