Verrattu

Verrattu is the past participle form of the Finnish verb verrata, which means "to compare." In Finnish grammar, verrattu functions as a passive past participle and as an adjectival or nominal modifier, conveying that something has been compared or stands in relation to another item. It is commonly used in combination with the verb olla to form perfect passive constructions equivalent to English "has been compared" or "is compared."

In usage, verrattu appears in phrases such as johonkin verrattuna, meaning "compared to" or "in comparison with," a frequent idiom in both spoken and written Finnish. As a participle it agrees in inflection with the noun it modifies when used adjectivally, and it participates in regular Finnish inflection patterns for participles formed with the suffix -ttu/-tty.

Pronunciation follows Finnish phonology, roughly [ˈʋerrɑtːu], with primary stress on the first syllable and a geminate consonant for the double t. Related forms include the infinitive verrata and other participial variants used in different cases and constructions. Verrattu is primarily a grammatical term rather than a standalone lexical concept, and it appears across contexts where comparative statements, evaluations, or analyses are expressed.
