varastoituina

Varastoituina is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “as stored” or “in stored form.” It is the essive plural form of the past participle varastoitu, which comes from varastoida “to store.” The expression is used to describe objects or materials that have been placed in storage or preserved in a stored state, typically in written, technical, or archival texts.

In practice varastoituina is found in inventory lists, catalogues, and data or document management contexts. It often appears in phrases such as varastoituina tuotteina (as stored products) or varastoituina tiedostoina (as stored files). The form helps indicate items that are not in active use and are kept in storage for future access.

Usage notes: Varastoituina is more common in formal registers, catalogs, or archival metadata than in everyday speech. It can be contrasted with forms indicating active use or movement, such as siirrettynä (moved) or käyttöön otettuna (put into use).
