raportoituna

Raportoituna is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb raportoida (to report). It functions as an adjective or adverbial modifier meaning “as reported” or “reported,” used to indicate information or statements that originate from reports rather than direct observation. The form is most common in formal, bureaucratic, or journalistic writing and is closely related to other non-finite passive forms of raportoida, such as raportoitua or raportoitu, depending on grammatical context. In many sentences it serves to attribute knowledge to a source without naming it explicitly.

Usage examples include the common construction raportoitujen tietojen mukaan, meaning “according to the reported information.” The form can also appear in noun phrases such as raportoitu tieto, meaning “reported information.” In everyday speech, speakers more often use raportoitu or phrases like tiedon mukaan, while raportoituna remains more frequent in formal reporting or official statements. The choice between raportoitu and raportoituna often reflects differences in formality, clause type, and the desired nuance of how the knowledge is sourced.
