maksetuista

Maksetuista is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the elative plural of the past participle maksettu, meaning "paid." It is used to describe nouns or to indicate the source or provenance of items that have already been settled. In practice, maksetuista appears with nouns in the elative plural, such as laskuista (from the invoices) or veloista (from the debts), to express ideas like “from the paid invoices” or “of the paid invoices.” The form is most common in formal writing, including accounting, procurement, and legal documents.

The construction typically occurs in phrases where the noun is in elative plural and the participle functions as an adjective describing those items. For example, maksetuista laskuista koostuva luettelo means “a list composed of paid invoices,” and tilinpäätöksessä erotellaan maksetuista veloista johtuneet kustannukset, meaning “in the financial statements, costs arising from paid debts are separated.” These usages help distinguish already settled items from pending or unsettled ones.

Relationship to other forms is straightforward: maksetut laskut refers to the paid invoices in the nominative plural, while maksettujen laskujen is the genitive plural. Maksetuista is therefore a specialized inflected form used to convey source or origin in a context where multiple items have already been paid.
