kaupattuja

Kaupattuja is a Finnish grammatical form used as a plural partitive adjective meaning "traded" or "bargained," formed from the past passive participle kaupattu. The form describes nouns that have undergone a transaction or exchange and agrees with the noun in number and case.

Typical usage occurs with nouns referring to goods, deals, or other items that have been subject to trade. For example, kaupattuja tavaroita means "goods that have been traded." In other cases you may encounter kaupattujen tavaroiden meaning "of traded goods." The singular counterpart is kaupattu, indicating something that has been traded.

Semantically, kaupattuja signals a prior action by others in a marketplace or bargaining process; it does not assign current ownership, but rather the state of having been traded.

Etymology: the form is derived from kauppa "trade" and the participle suffix -ttu, forming kaupattu, with the adjectival plural ending -ja that yields kaupattuja when modifying a plural noun in the partitive case. Related forms include kaupattu (singular, passive participle) and kaupattuja (plural, partitive).
