teipattuja

Teipattuja is a Finnish adjective form derived from the past passive participle teipattu, which comes from the verb teipata meaning “to tape.” It is used to describe objects or materials that have been sealed, bound, or attached with tape. The form teipattuja is the plural partitive, so it accompanies a noun in the partitive case, for example teipattuja kappaleita (taped pieces) or teipattuja paketteja (taped packages). It is not a fixed term with a specialized meaning; rather, it is a common grammatical construction in everyday Finnish.

In practice, teipattuja appears when describing a state resulting from taping. It can be used to characterize objects, documents, or surfaces that have been taped. For instance, a sentence might say that a set of items were teipattuja or that the doors were teipattuja, indicating that tape has been applied to them. The form can also function in broader descriptive contexts, such as packaging, crafts, or construction work, where taped components or surfaces are relevant.

Etymology and related terms: teippi means “tape,” borrowed into Finnish from English, and teipata means “to tape.” Related terms include teippi, the noun for tape, and teippaus, the act or process of taping. Teipattu and its inflected forms (including teipattuja) are common in descriptive Finnish grammar for indicating a taped state.
