koodattuja

Koodattuja is a Finnish word formed as the plural partitive of the past passive participle koodattu, meaning coded or encoded. The verb koodata, from which it derives, means to code or encode, typically by applying a code or transformation to data. In Finnish, participles can function adjectivally, agreeing with the noun they modify in number and case. When the modified noun is plural and in the partitive case, the form koodattuja is used, for example in phrases like koodattuja viestejä (encoded messages), koodattuja tietoja (encoded data), or koodattuja tiedostoja (encoded files).

Usage and nuance

Koodattuja is usually employed in technical, information-technology, or data-processing contexts to indicate that the items have undergone an encoding step. It does not automatically imply encryption, which in Finnish is more precisely described with the term salattu. Encoding can refer to applying a code, schema, or format transformation for purposes such as data integrity, interoperability, or compression, depending on the context.

Examples

- Koodattuja viestejä on tallennettu arkistoon. (Encoded messages have been stored in the archive.)

- Koodattuja tietoja käytetään analyysissä. (Encoded data are used in the analysis.)

- Tiedostoja, joissa on koodattuja sisältöjä, tulee hallinnoida turvallisesti.
