poistettuun

Poistettuun is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the illative singular form of the past participle poistettu, meaning removed. The form is used when the noun it modifies is in the illative case, indicating direction toward or into something associated with removal.

Etymology and morphology: poistettuun is built from the verb poistaa (to remove) to form the past participle poistettu (removed), together with the illative suffix -uun, which marks into/to a destination. The combination reflects Finnish inflection where adjectives and participles agree with the case of the noun they describe. The resulting form follows vowel harmony rules typical of illative suffixes.

Usage: poistettuun appears in contexts describing movement into a state, location, or container related to removal, or when referring to the target of removal in illative constructions. It is more common in written, technical, or formal language and less frequent in everyday speech, where simpler expressions are often used.

Examples:

- Vanha dokumentti siirrettiin poistettuun tilaan.

- Häiriöraportissa viitataan poistettuun laitteeseen.

Related forms: poistettu (nominative or base adjective meaning removed) and other case forms of the same adjective, such as poistettujen (genitive plural), poistettuun (illative singular), sekä poistettussa (inessive singular).
