hoitui

Hoitui is a Finnish finite verb form that comes from the verb hoitaa, which means to take care of or to handle. In standard usage, hoitui denotes a past, passive action, conveying that a matter has been taken care of or resolved by someone, while the agent is often not specified.

In practice, hoitui is used to report completed outcomes in which the focus is on the result rather than on who performed the action. It commonly appears in administrative, service, and everyday contexts to indicate that arrangements, tasks, or issues have been dealt with. The form contrasts with the present passive hoidetaan (to be taken care of) and with the past active or perfect forms that specify agents or ongoing effects.

Examples include:

- Asia hoitui nopeasti. Translation: The matter was taken care of quickly.

- Asiat hoituivat tänään. Translation: The matters were taken care of today.

Hoitui functions as part of Finnish passive morphology and is typically used when the speaker wants to emphasize the completion of an action rather than the performer. Related forms include hoitaa (to take care of) and hoidettu (taken care of, a participle form). Understanding hoitui helps clarify how Finnish expresses completed care-related actions without naming the agent.
