Sovitetussa

Sovitetussa is a Finnish term that functions as an adjective in inessive case, describing something that has been adjusted or tailored to fit a specific requirement or specification. It is formed from the verb sovittaa, meaning to fit, tailor, or adjust, and is commonly used to indicate that a component, garment, document, or setup has been customized to meet exact needs.

Etymology and form: The word derives from sovittaa and its participial formation, combined with the inessive suffix to express "in the state of being fitted." As a participial adjective, sovitetussa typically accompanies a noun to specify that the described item has undergone adjustment. The form is most often encountered in technical, manufacturing, and garment-context language, but can appear in general Finnish to convey customization.

Usage and contexts: Sovitetussa is commonly found in product descriptions, installation instructions, and manuals where a part or configuration has been tailored for a particular application. It signals that the item is not in a standard, off-the-shelf state but has been modified to fit requirements. Typical collocations include phrases like sovitetussa koossa (in the adjusted size), sovitetussa muodossa (in a tailored form), and sovitetussa kappaleessa (in the adjusted piece).

Examples:

- Valmistettu sovitetussa koossa, jotta se sopii asiakkaan järjestelmään. (Produced in the adjusted size to fit the customer’s system.)

- Tämän tuotteen osat toimitetaan sovitetussa muodossa. (The parts are delivered in a tailored form.)

- Asennuksessa käytetään sovitetussa tilassa olevia komponentteja. (Components in the adjusted state are used during installation.)
