laskettuja

Laskettuja is a Finnish term formed from the verb laskea, meaning to count or to calculate. It is the plural partitive form of the past passive participle laskettu and functions as an adjective describing things that have been counted or calculated. The form laskettuja is used when the noun it modifies is plural and in the partitive case, or in similar grammatical constructions.

In usage, laskettuja commonly appears in statistical, mathematical, or research contexts, where values, percentages, or results have been obtained through calculation or counting. It signals that the item has undergone a counting or computing process, rather than existing as a raw or unanalyzed figure. As a result, laskettuja can help distinguish between observed data and data that have been processed to yield specific metrics.

Typical collocations include laskettuja arvoja (calculated values), laskettuja tuloksia (calculated results), laskettuja prosenttiosuuksia (calculated percentages), and laskettuja lukuja (calculated numbers). In sentences, examples might be: "Raportissa esitettiin laskettuja arvoja," or "Tilastot perustuvat laskettuihin tietoihin, ei pelkästään havaintoihin." The word is primarily found in formal or technical Finnish and is less common in everyday speech, where the simple verb forms or other adjectives may be used.

Etymologically, laskettuja derives from laskea, and its usage reflects Finnish morphology where participial adjectives agree with number and case of the nouns they modify.
