Tulostettua

Tulostettua is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb tulostaa, meaning to print. It is the partitive singular form of the past passive participle tulostettu and is used to describe something that has been printed when the object is indefinite or described in the partitive case. In other words, tulostettua functions like an adjective that signals a completed printing of an unspecified quantity or amount.

Morphology and usage overview: The base past passive participle is tulostettu. Its partitive singular form is tulostettua, while the plural partitive would be tulostettuja. Tulostettua commonly appears with nouns in the partitive case, for example: "Olen lukenut tulostettua materiaalia" (I have read printed material). "Tilauksessa oli useita tulostettuja asiakirjoja" (The order included several printed documents). For definite, countable items, the nominative form tulostettu is often used, as in "tulostettu asiakirja" (the printed document).

Relation to related terms: Tulostetta is related to other forms of the same participle and to related nouns such as tuloste (printout) and tulostus (printing or print job). While tulostettu emphasizes the finished condition of the printed item, tulostettua highlights the material as an indefinite or partial object in partitive constructions. In Finnish technical and administrative writing, tulostettua appears frequently when exact quantities are not specified or when referring to printed material in a general sense.
