peitellyt

Peitellyt is a Finnish word used as an adjective and past participle meaning veiled, concealed, or hidden. It is formed from the verb peitellä (to veil or hide) and is closely related to peittäminen (the act of covering up). The term describes something that has been made less visible or deliberately kept out of plain view, often in a figurative sense.

In usage, peitellyt can describe both information and motives, as well as physical concealment. It is commonly employed in formal or literary Finnish to indicate that the truth, intentions, or facts are not openly presented. The singular form is peitelty, while the plural form is peitellyt. Grammatical agreement follows standard Finnish patterns with nouns and adjectives.

Common contexts include expressions such as peitelty totuus (a veiled or hidden truth) or peitellyt motiivit (concealed motives). The term often carries a nuance of intentionality or rhetorical presentation, suggesting that something is being withheld or framed in a certain way rather than simply obscured by chance.

See also: peite (a cover or veiling), peittely (cover-up), totuus (truth). In Finnish discourse, peitellyt is a neutral descriptive term but can carry evaluative overtones depending on context, especially in journalism or analytical writing where hidden aspects are contrasted with openly stated information.
