dekarboksylaatioituu
The term dekarboksylaatioituu is a Finnish word. It is the passive present tense form of the verb "dekarboksylaatiotua". This verb means "to be decarboxylated" or "to undergo decarboxylation".

This process is common in organic chemistry and biochemistry.
In biological contexts, decarboxylation is crucial for many metabolic pathways. For example, amino acids undergo decarboxylation
