eirahoitettuja

Eirahoitettuja is a Finnish adjective form meaning “unfunded” or “not financed.” It is derived from the negating prefix ei- combined with rahoitus, financing, and the past participle -ttu, to describe something that has not secured financial support. The word is most often used in plural form as eirahoitettuja, which modifies plural nouns such as hankkeita (projects), esityksiä (proposals), or ohjelmia (programs).

In everyday and public discourse, eirahoitettuja is used to indicate that a project, initiative, or proposal lacks secured funding. It commonly appears in budget reports, policy analyses, and media coverage about research, development, or public-sector initiatives. The term is typically contrasted with terms like rahoitetut (funded) and osittain rahoitetut (partially funded). Its use can suggest heightened risk, fragility, or uncertainty due to the absence of reliable financing.

Usage notes and nuances: eirahoitettuja often carries a negative or cautionary tone, signaling that the ongoing viability or completion of the described items may depend on obtaining funding. In Finnish, it is grammatically flexible and can appear in different contexts where the noun it modifies is in plural partitive, for example: eirahoitettuja hankkeita, eirahoitettuja esityksiä, eirahoitettuja ohjelmia.
