tulkattuja

Tulkattuja is a Finnish word formed from the verb tulkita, meaning to interpret or translate. It is the past participle tulkattu used in an attributive plural form to describe items that have been interpreted or translated. Because tulkita covers both oral interpretation and written translation, tulkattuja can refer to a variety of outputs, such as subtitles, translated texts, or interpreted performances.

In everyday Finnish, more precise terms are often used: käännös denotes a translation, tulkkaus denotes interpretation, and tekstitys or subtitle refers to subtitled content. Nevertheless, tulkattuja is applicable when the emphasis is on the result of interpretation or translation rather than the process itself, and the phrase tends to appear in contexts that discuss outputs rather than production methods.

Usage and scope: In academic writing and media discourse, tulkattuja materials may be described for comparative studies of meaning transfer across languages or cultures. Examples include tulkattuja tekstejä (translated texts) or tulkattuja esityksiä (interpreted performances). The specific meaning is determined by context and accompanying nouns.
