Varoitellut

Varoitellut is a Finnish verb that translates to "warned" or "cautioned" in English. It is the past participle form of the verb varoittaa, which means "to warn." The word can be used in various contexts to indicate that a warning has been given or advice has been provided to prevent a negative outcome.

For instance, one might say "Hän oli varoitellut minua sateesta" which means "He had warned me about the rain." This implies that a warning was issued in advance. The verb can also be used in a more general sense of cautioning someone about a potential danger or risk. For example, "Opettaja oli varoitellut oppilaita vaikeasta kokeesta" translates to "The teacher had cautioned the students about the difficult exam."

The form varoitellut suggests a completed action in the past, and it can be used to describe a state resulting from such an action. It is a common and useful verb in everyday Finnish communication when discussing advisories, precautions, or prior notifications. The nuance of "varoitellut" often implies that the warning was given deliberately and with the intention of influencing behavior or preparing someone for a situation.
