tilatusta

Tilatusta is a Finnish word that translates to "ordered" or "commissioned" in English. It is primarily used to describe something that has been requested or arranged for, often in a commercial or service context. The term implies a deliberate action taken by a customer or client to obtain a specific product or service.

For example, one might order a custom-made piece of furniture, which would be described as a "tilatusta huonekalu" (ordered furniture). Similarly, if a company commissions an artist to create a specific artwork, that artwork is considered "tilatusta" (commissioned). The word emphasizes the anticipatory nature of the transaction, where the item or service is not readily available but is brought into existence or prepared specifically for the requester.

In a broader sense, "tilatusta" can also refer to something that has been scheduled or booked in advance, such as a reservation for a table at a restaurant or an appointment with a professional. The core meaning remains consistent: an item or event has been arranged for upon request, rather than being a spontaneous occurrence.
