koulutetusta

Koulutetusta is a Finnish linguistic form, specifically the elative singular form of the adjective koulutettu, meaning trained or educated. In Finnish grammar, the elative case expresses origin or source, so koulutetusta is used to indicate that something comes from or is associated with someone who is trained.

Etymology and usage

The word is built from the root koulutet- derived from koulutus (education, training) plus the past participle suffix -ttu, with the elative singular ending -sta. As an inflected adjective, koulutetusta typically appears in phrases that modify a noun, indicating that the noun is linked to a trained or educated subject. It is not commonly used as a standalone noun; rather, it functions to describe or specify source, possession, or belonging in context.

Examples

- koulutetusta henkilöstöstä — from the trained staff

- koulutetusta väestöstä — from the educated population

- referoitu palvelusta: but a more natural use would be koulutetusta henkilöstä or koulutetusta henkilökunnasta depending on the sentence structure
