rahoitetussa

Rahoitetussa is a Finnish adjective form meaning “funded” or “financed” in English. It is the inessive singular form of the past passive participle rahoitettu, which comes from the verb rahoittaa (to fund). The form is used to describe a noun that has received funding.

Grammatical role: Rahoitetussa functions as a descriptive modifier and is used in phrases where the noun is in the inessive case or otherwise marked to indicate a funded state. Common constructions include phrases like ra-hoitetussa projektissa, meaning “in the funded project,” or ra-hoitetussa tutkimuksessa, meaning “in funded research.” The form reflects both tense (past) and a state resulting from funding.

Usage: The form is typical in formal and academic Finnish when referring to projects, studies, institutions, or publications that have received external funding. It does not specify the source of funding. Examples include: “rahoitetussa projektissa työskentelevä tutkija” (a researcher working in a funded project) and “rahoitetulla tutkimuksella on suurempi vaikutus” (funded research has greater impact).

Notes: Rahoitetussa is the inessive form used to express the funded state within a phrase. It is distinct from rahoitettu, another past passive participle form that can function as a general modifier; the choice between them depends on syntactic role and emphasis rather than on meaning alone. In practice, both forms may appear in similar contexts, but rahoitetussa more explicitly marks the location/state of funding within the sentence structure.
