tarkasteltua

tarkasteltua is a Finnish verb that translates to "to examine," "to scrutinize," or "to analyze" in English. It is a regular verb belonging to the -tella conjugation group and is derived from the noun tarkastelu, meaning "scrutiny" or "inspection." The verb is typically used in contexts where a careful and detailed examination is required, such as scientific investigations, legal assessments, or personal introspection.

The infinitive form tarkasteltua is followed by the partitive or accusative case of the direct object, depending on whether the verb is used transitively or intransitively. For example, in the sentence "Tekstiä tarkasteltuamme huomasimme virheen" the object "tekstiä" is in the partitive case, indicating ongoing examination. Verb tense is indicated by prefixes: present tense, past tense, future tense, and conditional forms. A common past tense form is tarkastelin, which is used to describe an examination completed in the past.

In common speech, the verb can appear in colloquial or idiomatic expressions. The phrase "tarkastella huonosti" means "to examine poorly," implying insufficient review or carelessness. Conversely, "tarkastella huolellisesti" indicates a thorough and meticulous approach. The verb is also used metaphorically to denote critical reflection, as in "hän tarkasteli omaa ajatteluaan."

The word exhibits regular phonological behavior: the stem ends with a t, and the infinitive suffix -ella adds a vowel for euphony. Because it belongs to a frequent group of Finnish verbs, it is recognized in most formal and informal contexts, making it a useful term for anyone needing to express the idea of close examination in written or spoken Finnish.
