maksetun

Maksetun is the genitive singular form of the Finnish past passive participle maksettu, which means "paid." It functions as an adjective that describes something that has already been paid and is used in noun phrases to indicate completion of payment. In Finnish, participles used as adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify, with maksettu forming distinct case and number forms such as maksettu (nominative singular), maksetun (genitive singular), maksettua (partitive singular), maksetut (nominative plural), maksettujen (genitive plural), and maksettuita (partitive plural).

Usage and meaning: Maksetun is typically employed when referring to a specific paid item or set of items. For example, maksettu lasku means “a paid bill.” In phrases like maksetun laskun tilinumero, the genitive form maksetun marks the noun lasku as the one that has been paid, while tilinumero specifies the associated account number. The form helps distinguish between unpaid and paid items within legal, financial, or administrative contexts.

Comparison with related forms: The base participle maksettu can also appear in other cases and numbers, such as maksettuun? Not; correct inflections are determined by standard Finnish adjective-participle declension. The genitive plural form is maksettujen, used in phrases like maksettujen laskujen määrä (the amount of the paid invoices).

In summary, maksetun is a grammatical form used in Finnish to indicate that a noun it modifies has already been paid, functioning as the genitive singular of the past passive participle maksettu. See also maksettu, Finnish participles, and Finnish grammar.
