Suoritettin

Suoritettin is a Finnish verb form that expresses that an action was carried out or completed in the past in the passive voice. It is derived from the verb suorittaa, meaning to perform, carry out, or complete. In modern standard Finnish, the common past passive form is suoritettiin, which is widely used in official writing, news reporting, and everyday language.

Grammatical notes indicate that Finnish forms the past passive with specific stem changes and an -iin/-tiin ending in many common verbs. Suoritettiin is the regular form for the past passive of suorittaa, while suoritettin is rarely used in contemporary standard Finnish. It may occur in older texts, regional varieties, or as a transcription variant. Because suoritettin is not the normative form in formal Finnish, readers should generally replace it with suoritettiin when clarity and standard language are required.

Usage considerations include that the passive past tense in Finnish communicates that the action happened without naming the agent. It is common in reports, summaries, and neutral descriptions. When translating to English, suoritettin conveys “was performed” or “was carried out,” depending on context. If you encounter suoritettin in a text, consider whether suoritettiin would be more appropriate for formal writing or whether the variant reflects a historical or regional usage.
