ehdotettuun

Ehdotettuun is a grammatical form in Finnish. It is the illative singular form of the adjective or past participle ehdotettu, which means "proposed" or "to be proposed." The form is used when a noun in the illative case is described as being the object of a proposal, plan, or suggestion. In standard usage, ehdotettuun appears in formal or technical texts, such as legal, governmental, or academic writing.

Origin and structure: The base word ehdottaa means "to propose." The participial adjective ehdotettu derives from that verb. The illative singular form ehdotettuun is created by adding the illative ending to the stem. As with other Finnish illative forms, the final form must agree with the noun it modifies in number and with the illative case. Ehdotettuun is therefore a morphologically marked descriptor rather than a standalone noun.

Usage: Ehdotettuun typically appears in phrases where a noun in the illative case is being described as the target or reference point of a proposal. For example, "Keskustelussa viitattiin ehdotettuun muutokseen" means that reference was made to the proposed change. Another example is "Hankkeen ehdotettuun kustannusarvioon liittyvät tarkennukset," referring to clarifications related to the proposed cost estimate for the project.
