annosteltua

Annosteltua is a Finnish adjective describing something that has been prepared or delivered in predetermined doses. It stems from the verb annostella, to dose out, and is the partitive singular form of the past passive participle annosteltu. The form annosteltua is used to modify a noun in contexts where an indefinite or partial quantity is implied, for example potilaalle annosteltua lääkettä (dosed medicine for the patient) or annosteltua ruokaa (measured portions of food).

In usage, annosteltua appears in medical, veterinary, and nutritional contexts, as well as in laboratory or industrial settings where products are dispensed in fixed doses. It is common in formal or technical Finnish, including product labeling, guidelines, and research reports.

Examples:

- Potilaalle annosteltua lääkettä annetaan kerran päivässä. (Dosed medicine is given to the patient once a day.)

- Eläinten ruokintaan käytetään annosteltua rehua. (Dosed feed is used for animal feeding.)

- Ravintolisää tarjotaan annosteltuna muotoon, joka varmistaa oikean annoksen. (Dietary supplement is offered in a dosed form to ensure the correct dose.)
