Vaurioituneella

Vaurioituneella is the adessive singular form of the Finnish participial adjective vaurioitunut, meaning damaged. The form is used to describe a noun that is in a damaged state and to indicate location or relation to something else, typically in phrases that denote “on/at the damaged …” or “with the damaged …”.

Usage and examples

In Finnish, adjectives and participles generally accompany the noun they modify, and the adessive case is used to express location or state in relation to another element. Vaurioituneella is thus commonly found in technical, industrial, and maintenance language to specify that a component or part is damaged and to situate it in a context. Examples include:

- Kone on vaurioituneella pohjalla. (The device is on the damaged base.)

- Vaurioituneella reunalla on halkeama. (There is a crack on the damaged edge.)

- Laitevaurio on ilmennyt vaurioituneella osalla. (The equipment damage has appeared on the damaged part.)

Morphology and related forms

Vaurioitunut is a past participle used as an adjective meaning damaged. Its forms decline like a normal Finnish adjective in different cases, for example:

- Nominative: vaurioitunut

- Genitive: vaurioituneen

- Inessive: vaurioituneessa

- Adessive: vaurioituneella

Other case forms adjust to the noun they modify, while the base meaning remains “damaged.” The root word is vaurio, meaning damage, with the participial suffix -itunut.

Etymology and context

The term derives from vaurio, meaning damage, combined with the verb form -oitua, yielding vaurioitua (to become damaged) and its participle vaurioitunut (damaged). Vaurioituneella serves as a precise grammatical vehicle to express the state of damage and spatial relation in Finnish texts.
