vaadittua

Vaadittua is a Finnish inflected form of the past passive participle vaadittu, derived from the verb vaatia, which means to demand or to require. In usage, vaadittua functions as an adjective-like form that modifies a noun to indicate that something is required or demanded. It is commonly used with nouns in the partitive case to refer to the thing that is required.

Common examples include phrases such as vaadittua tietoa (information that is required), vaadittua materiaalia (the required material), and vaadittua todistusta (the required certificate). In these examples, vaadittua signals a condition or obligation attached to the noun, often in administrative, legal, or formal contexts.

Grammatically, vaadittua is the partitive singular form of the past passive participle vaadittu. This form typically appears before a noun in the partitive case or in constructions that require partitive for indefinite quantities or general statements. For plural references, the corresponding form is vaadittuja, as in vaadittuja tietoja or vaadittuja asiakirjoja.

Etymology and nuance: vaadittu comes from vaatia (to demand, to require) plus the -ttu participle suffix. The word conveys that a certain item or information must be provided or fulfilled, rather than merely requested. In English translations, vaadittua is often rendered as “required” or “that is required,” depending on the context.
