erikoisvalmistetun

Erikoisvalmistetun is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective erikoisvalmistettu, meaning specially manufactured or custom-made. The term is used to describe goods, equipment, or services that are produced to specific requirements or specifications requested by a customer, rather than produced in standard, off-the-shelf form.

Etymology and form: The word combines erikois- (special, particular) with valmistettu (manufactured). In Finnish, adjectives decline to match the noun they modify, so erikoisvalmistettu takes different endings depending on case and number. Erikoisvalmistetun appears before a noun in the genitive singular, for example erikoisvalmistetun laitteen (of the specially manufactured device). The base form erikoisvalmistettu is common in product descriptions or marketing, while erikoisvalmistetun appears in grammatical contexts within sentences.

Usage and contexts: The term is common in engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and project documentation. It signals that a product or component has been tailored for a particular client or application. Examples of usage include procurement specifications, contract language, or technical descriptions: erikoisvalmistetun koneen toimitusajankohta, erikoisvalmistetun tuotteen kustannusarvio, erikoisvalmistetun suunnittelun vaatimukset. It is distinct from mass-produced items and implies additional design, testing, or customization steps.

Note: While erikoisvalmistettu describes the attribute, erikoisvalmistetun is a grammatical form used when the noun it modifies is in the genitive case.
