raportoimat

Raportoimat is a Finnish term formed from the verb raportoida, meaning to report. In usage it appears as a participial form that can function as an adjective or as part of a noun phrase in plural. The expression is commonly used to indicate items that have been reported or people who have reported something, depending on context.

In journalism and research, raportoimat is most often encountered in phrases that refer to information or data that has been reported. For example, raportoimat tiedot means “the data that have been reported” or “the reported information.” Such usage helps distinguish reported material from directly observed or measured material. Another frequent use is to describe the actors who perform reporting, as in raportoimat henkilöt, which can be interpreted as “the reporters” or “the individuals who reported.”

Linguistic notes: raportoimat is a flexible form derived from raportoida and is typically found in formal or written Finnish. Its precise interpretation relies on the noun it modifies and the surrounding context; it can point to the content that has been reported or to the people who carried out the reporting.
