kontaminoituneelta

Kontaminoituneelta is an inflected form of the Finnish word *kontaminoitunut*, the past passive participle of the verb *kontaminoida* (“to contaminate”). In Finnish grammar the ending “-elta” denotes the partitive case, and in this context the form is used to mean “from the contaminated (thing)”, “having been contaminated”, or “with reference to the contaminated”. The basic word *kontaminoida* derives from the noun *kontaminaatio* (“contamination”) and the suffix *-oida*, which is typical for verbs that express an action performed on a noun.

The partitive form *kontaminoituneelta* appears mainly in written Finnish in contexts such as environmental reports, product safety notices, or scientific texts. For example, a warning might read: “Tämän laatikon sisältö erottuu kontaminoituneelta osasaaren näytösten perusteella,” which could be translated as “The contents of this box are separated from the contaminated portion based on the test results.” The form is rarely used in everyday conversation and is mostly encountered in formal, technical, or legal documents.

Because it is a grammatical form rather than a separate lexical entry, *kontaminoituneelta* is not listed in most Finnish dictionaries as a standalone word. Nonetheless, it is a necessary part of the language for precise expression in contexts where contamination has been previously identified and needs to be referenced. The word is typical of Finnish’s agglutinative nature, where a root can be combined with multiple suffixes to create specific meanings and grammatical functions.
