fiksattuja

Fiksattuja is a Finnish adjective form used to describe items that have been repaired or refurbished. It derives from the verb fiksata, meaning to fix or repair. The base form fiksattu is the past passive participle meaning “fixed/repaired,” and fiksattuja is the plural partitive form used when describing multiple objects in Finnish grammar.

Usage and meaning: The term is commonly encountered in retail, especially in catalogs and advertisements for used or refurbished goods. It signals that an item has been serviced to restore its functioning, rather than being brand new. Examples: “Myynnissä on fiksattuja laitteita.” It can modify a range of nouns, such as laitteita (devices), kalusteita (furniture), or autoja (cars), depending on context.

Differences and nuance: Fiksattu emphasizes the act of repair or refurbishment; korjattu can also mean repaired but sometimes for a specific fault, while päivitetty suggests updates or upgrades. In everyday Finnish, fiksattuja items are typically expected to work reliably and may come with limited warranties depending on the seller.
