kirjoitetusta

Kirjoitetusta is a grammatical form in Finnish. It is the elative singular form of the past participle kirja‑kavata? No. It stems from the verb kirjoittaa (to write) and is based on the passive past participle kirjoitettu (written). In Finnish, participles can take inflectional endings to agree with the noun they modify, and the elative case is marked by -sta or -stä. Therefore kirjoitetusta functions as the written-form adjective in the elative singular, used before or with a noun in the elative case.

In usage, kirjoitetusta is most common in written or formal language, often in contexts that contrast written material with oral or other forms. It can modify a noun in elative, such as kirjoitetusta tekstistä (from the written text) or kirjoitetusta ohjeesta (from the written instruction). The phrase commonly appears in discussions of sources, documentation, or records where the written version is relevant.

Etymology and relation to other forms: kirjoitetusta is derived from the verb kirjoittaa via the past participle kirjoitettu, with further inflection to the elative singular. It is closely related to other forms of the same participle, such as kirjoitettu (written) in other cases and numbers, and to the noun forms derived from the same verb, like kirjoitus (writing) and kirjoittaminen (writing as an activity).
