päätettyjä

Päätettyjä is a Finnish linguistic form derived from the verb päättää, meaning to decide. It is the plural partitive form of the passive past participle päätetty, and it is used to describe things that have already been decided or settled. In practice, päätettyjä typically accompanies nouns in the partitive case, for example päätettyjä asioita, päätettyjä ratkaisuja, or päätettyjä toimenpiteitä.

Grammatically, päätettyjä functions as an adjective-like modifier in front of a noun and agrees with the noun in number (plural) and case (partitive). It can also appear in more abstract or nominalized uses, where the phrase refers to “the decided ones” or “the decided matters,” though the latter is less common and often appears with surrounding context to clarify the meaning.

Usage-wise, päätettyjä is common in administrative, legal, and formal political language. It signals that decisions have already been made by a person or authority and that the described items are in a settled state rather than pending. It contrasts with forms like päätettävä, meaning “to be decided” or “that will be decided.”

Examples include: “Keskustelun lopuksi esiteltiin useita päätettyjä asioita.” “Päätettyjä ratkaisuja ei yleensä muuteta ilman erillistä päätöstä.” These usages illustrate how päätettyjä conveys finality and established status within a discourse about plans, policies, or procedures.
