kudottua

Kudottua is the partitive singular form of the Finnish passive past participle kudottu, which means “woven.” In Finnish, kudottu describes something that has been woven, and kudottua is used when the speaker refers to an indefinite amount or portion of that woven material.

Grammatically, kudottu is a passive past participle, and kudottua appears in noun phrases where the object is not fully specified or counted. It is commonly used with materials and textiles, such as kudottua kangasta (woven fabric), kudottua villaa (woven wool), or kudottua pellavaa (woven linen). The partitive form signals indefiniteness or a non-total quantity, which is typical in descriptions of materials.

Kudottua is frequent in contexts related to textiles, crafts, fashion, and product descriptions. It is also seen on museum labels or in instructional texts that discuss the properties of woven goods. The term functions as an adjective within noun phrases, rather than as a standalone verb.

Examples:

- Kudottua kangasta käytetään verhoissa ja verhoilussa. (Woven fabric is used in curtains and upholstery.)

- Hän osti kudottua villaa neuleita varten. (She bought woven wool for sweaters.)

Etymology and related forms:

Kudottu derives from kudota (to weave). The related forms include kudottuja, kudottujaan, and other inflected versions, depending on number and case. Kudottua specifically marks partitive singular in such phrases.
