inhaloitua

Inhaloitua is a Finnish linguistic term describing something that has been inhaled. It is the past passive participle form of the verb inhaloida (to inhale) and functions as an adjective to modify nouns. The word is most commonly found in medical, pharmacological, and environmental texts where it is used to specify the route of administration or exposure by breathing.

As an attributive participle, inhaloitua can modify a variety of nouns, for example inhaloitua lääkettä (inhaled medicine), inhaloitua ilmaa (inhaled air), or inhaloitua savua (inhaled smoke). The form agrees with the noun it describes in number and case, following standard Finnish participle usage. In practice, it signals that the substance or state has been subjected to inhalation rather than being ingested or absorbed through other means.

In clinical and occupational health writing, inhaloitua is used to distinguish inhalation-based exposure or treatment from other routes. It can help convey information about how a substance was delivered or encountered, which may be relevant for safety assessments, dosing, and exposure history. Outside technical contexts, the term is less common in everyday conversation, where more general phrases may be used.
