Suosittelemia

Suosittelemia is a Finnish attributive participle form derived from the verb suosittaa meaning “to recommend.” It is used to describe nouns as having been recommended by someone, and it functions like an adjective in a noun phrase. The form is common in everyday language, marketing, and written guidance to indicate that a item or concept has received a recommendation.

In practice, suosittelemia describes plural nouns and agrees with the noun in number and case. Examples include phrases such as suosittelemia kirjoja (books that have been recommended) or suosittelemia tuotteita (products that have been recommended). The agent behind the recommendation can be specified with a separate part of the sentence (for example, “koostettu toimittajien suosittelemia kirjoja” or “ravitsemusterapeutin suosittelemia reseptejä”), but suosittelemia itself marks that the items have been recommended.

Usage and nuance: The term is frequently found in consumer guidance, product reviews, shopping guides, and marketing copy to signal credibility through third‑party endorsements. Because the agent may be implicit, the exact source of the recommendation is sometimes clarified with a genitive or an accompanying clause. This can affect interpretation, as some readers may assume a specific authority (critics, editors, influencers) while others may understand a more informal recommendation.
