ilmoittettu

Ilmoittettu is a Finnish past passive participle derived from the verb ilmoittaa, meaning to report or announce. It indicates that something has been announced or notified by someone and is commonly used as an adjective or as part of a verbal predicate to convey a completed act in a passive sense.

Form and usage: The participle takes the suffix -ttu/-tty and agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case (for example: ilmoitettu tieto, ilmoitettu päätös). In perfect or ongoing passive constructions, it appears with forms of olla, as in Päätös on ilmoitettu (the decision has been announced).

Nuance and registers: Ilmoitettu carries an official or formal nuance, suggesting disclosure by an authority or official source rather than rumor. It is common in official communications, news reports, and records. It can describe both information that has been publicly released and decisions or notices that have been formally issued.

Related forms and examples: The root verb is ilmoittaa; related nouns include ilmoitus (notice, announcement) and ilmoittaja (the notifier). Examples: Päätös on ilmoitettu viranomaisille. Ilmoitettu tiedote on julkaistu verkkosivuilla. Ilmoitettu tieto on saatavilla sekä suullisesti että kirjallisesti.
