suojattu

Suojattu is a Finnish adjective meaning protected, safeguarded, or secured against harm, danger, or unauthorized access. It is formed from the verb suojata (to protect) with the past passive participle suffix -ttu, and it is commonly used to describe things that have received protection by law, policy, or practical measures.

In Finnish usage, suojattu can appear in legal and administrative contexts, but also in everyday language. It can describe protected areas, protected data, or objects that have been shielded from risk. It is often paired with phrases such as salasanalla suojattu (password-protected) or tiedosto on suojattu (the file is protected).

Examples include: a protected natural area described as “suojattu luonnonalue” or a file that is password-protected described as “tiedosto on salasanasuojattu” or “tiedosto on suojattu.” The term can also refer more generally to protected status or to measures intended to prevent harm, theft, or unauthorized use.
