Vaadittujen

Vaadittujen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish past participle vaadittu, which carries the meaning “demanded” or “required.” In Finnish, participles used as adjectives agree with the nouns they modify, so vaadittu becomes vaaditut in the nominative plural and vaadittujen in the genitive plural. The form vaadittujen is therefore used to express “of the demanded ones” or to indicate that a plural noun has been required or stipulated.

In typical usage, vaadittujen appears in formal or official contexts such as contracts, regulations, and administrative language. It often appears with a noun in the genitive case, for example: vaadittujen ehtojen mukaan (according to the required terms), vaadittujen asiakirjojen lista (the list of the demanded documents), or vaadittujen maksujen suorittaminen (the payment of the required charges). The phrase conveys that certain conditions, documents, or obligations have been set as prerequisites by an authority or agreement.

Etymologically, vaadittujen derives from the verb vaatia (to demand, require) and demonstrates how Finnish uses participial adjectives to describe specified attributes or requirements. The word is common in legal, governmental, and business prose, and it is not a standalone noun or proper name.
