korotettua

Korotettua is a Finnish word that functions as the partitive singular form of the past passive participle korotettu, derived from the verb korottaa meaning to raise or to increase. The participle korotettu itself conveys the sense of something being raised or increased and can act as an adjective or, in certain constructions, as a noun.

In Finnish, participles inflect for case and number like adjectives. Korotettua is used when the noun it modifies is in the partitive case, for example: korotettua hintaa (an increased price) or korotettua veroa (increased tax). For other cases, related forms include korotettu hinta (the increased price) and korotetut hinnat (the increased prices); genitive forms include korotetun hinnan.

Usage notes: The term is common in economic, financial, and administrative language and is used to describe changes that have occurred to quantities such as prices, taxes, wages, or tariffs. It is not a separate lexical concept; rather, it is a grammatical form of the past participle, with meaning determined by the noun it accompanies.

Examples: Kuluttajat joutuivat maksamaan korotettua hintaa. Tilinpäätöksessä mainittiin korotettua verotuloa. Related forms include the verb korottaa and the noun korotus, which describe the action or the act of increasing.
