liittetty

Liittetty is a Finnish word formed from the verb liittää, meaning to join or attach. As a past participle or adjective, it would convey that something has been joined or attached. In standard Finnish, however, the common past participle is liitetty, and liittetty is not widely used in contemporary writing. Liittetty tends to be regarded as nonstandard, dialectal, or historical, and it can appear in older texts or as a misspelling in modern usage.

In practice, when referring to something that has been attached to another document or item, the preferred form is liitetty (singular: liitetty asiakirja; plural: liitety, liitetyt asiakirjat). The related noun liite denotes an attachment or appendix, and phrases such as “liitteet” or “liitetty liite” are common in administrative or legal contexts. The adverbial phrase “liitetään” can be used to indicate that something is being attached, or “liitettynä” to describe its attached state in a clause.

Usage notes: liittetty may appear in historical texts, regional varieties, or as a typographical error. When writing in standard Finnish, it is safer to use liitetty for the past participle meaning “attached.” If in doubt, consult a Finnish dictionary or a reliable reference for the specific register or era of the text.
