nollatuissa

Nollatuissa is a Finnish term used to describe items or data that have been reset to zero. It functions as the inessive plural form of the past participle nollattu and derives from nolla (zero) and the verb nollata (to zero out). The phrase is common in technical, scientific, financial, and administrative contexts where values are intentionally cleared or standardized.

In practice, nollatuissa appears in phrases like nollatuissa tilastoissa, nollatuissa mittauksissa, or nollatuissa järjestelmissä, to indicate that the respective data, measurements, or systems have been set to zero. It is used to distinguish from raw or unmodified data and can reflect procedures such as calibration, data sanitization, or resetting counters at a defined point in time.

Usage is largely technical, and the expression surfaces mainly in written documents, reports, datasets, or manuals. It carries a neutral connotation, but the exact meaning depends on context: it can imply standardization, privacy protection by removing historical values, or preparation for a fresh measurement cycle.

Related terms include nollaus (zeroing or reset), nolla (zero), and nollata (to zero out). The term is most natural in formal Finnish; in everyday speech speakers may instead describe the act more directly, e.g., se on nollattu or arvot on nollattu.
