Vastaanotettua

Vastaanotettua is a Finnish word formed from the verb vastaanottaa, meaning to receive or to accept. It is the partitive singular form of the passive past participle vastaanotettu. As a participial adjective, vastaanotettua denotes something that has been received and is used to describe nouns in contexts where the amount is indefinite or non-specified.

Usage and grammar: In Finnish, participles function as adjectives and must agree with the noun in number and case. Therefore vastaanotettua appears with a singular noun in the partitive case, for example vastaanotettua postia (received mail) or vastaanotettua tietoa (received information). Other inflected forms exist for different cases and numbers, such as nominative vastaanotettu (the received item) or genitive vastaanotetun (of the received item).

Semantics and usage: The form is common in formal or administrative language, where it is used to attribute the status of “received” to objects like documents, data, feedback, or mail. It helps convey that the action of receiving has already occurred and that the object is being considered in its received state.

Examples: vastaanotettua postia, vastaanotettua tietoa, vastaanotettu palaute. In continuous or broader discourse, it may appear in phrases describing quantities or quality of received material, as in reports or audits.

Notes: vastaanotettua is the partitive form of the past passive participle; other forms (vastaanotettu, vastaanotetun, vastaanotettuja) reflect different cases and numbers. The word is most often used as a modifier rather than as a stand-alone noun.
