uusittu

Uusittu is a Finnish adjective and past passive participle meaning renewed or updated. It is formed by adding the participial suffix -ttu to the stem of a verb associated with making something new or refreshing it, and it is used to describe things that have undergone renewal or update.

The word is commonly found in both everyday language and formal contexts. It can function as a predicative adjective, as in the sentence “Sivusto on uusittu” (The website has been renewed), or as an attributive modifier before a noun, for example “uusittu versio” (renewed/updated version). In word usage, uusittu often conveys a modernization or refresh rather than a complete overhaul.

In practice, uusittu is closely related to other terms such as päivitetty (updated) and uudistettu (reformed or modernized). Päivitetty is frequent in IT and software contexts, emphasizing data or content updates, while uudistettu can imply broader structural changes or reforms. Uusittu tends to emphasize the result of a renewal process, the thing that now appears newer or refreshed.

In Finnish media and corporate communication, uusittu is a standard descriptive option when reporting on changes to products, services, interfaces, or publications that have been refreshed or renewed. Its usage is consistent with Finnish grammar, where adjectives agree with the noun in number and case, while remaining invariable for gender.
