The word's usage can vary depending on the context, but it generally conveys the idea of something being deliberately designed or planned for a specific reason.

Here, tarkotettu refers to the planned nature of the journey.

The word can also be used to indicate the underlying meaning or significance of something. For instance, "En ymmärtänyt, mitä hän tarkoitettu oli," means "I didn't understand what he meant." This highlights the communicative intent behind the statement. The grammatical form of tarkotettu can change depending on its role in the sentence, but its core meaning of intention or purpose remains consistent.
