toivottuna

Toivottuna is a Finnish adverbial participle form of the verb toivoa, meaning to hope or wish. It expresses something that is hoped for, desired, or requested and is used to mark a preferred, non-mandatory condition. The form is built from the past passive participle toivottu (hoped for, desired) with the suffix -na/-nä, producing toivottuna. In practice, toivottuna appears mainly in formal, administrative, or product-related language to indicate what is preferred rather than obligatory. It commonly occurs in noun phrases or prepositional phrases such as toivottuna vaihtoehtona (as a desired/optional option) or toivottuna toimitustapana (as the preferred delivery method).

Etymology: toivottuna derives from the verb toivoa, via the past passive participle toivottu plus the suffix -na/-nä. The term is not a core grammatical form for everyday speech, but it appears in contracts, menus, and guidelines where options are described as toivottuna. See also: toivo, toivoa, toivominen.
