varmistettuna

Varmistettuna is a Finnish language form derived from the verb varmistaa, meaning to ensure, confirm, or secure. It functions as an essive participle that denotes a state: something is in a verified or secured condition. In practice, varmistettuna is used to describe information, documents, or processes that have been confirmed or validated.

Grammar and formation: The word combines the passive participle varmistettu with the essive suffix -na/-nä, producing a form that expresses a temporary state of being verified. It is most common in formal Finnish, especially in written reports, administrative texts, and quality assurance documentation. The form can appear in phrases like varmistettuna oleva tieto, meaning “the data that is verified,” or in bullet points to indicate status.

Usage: It differs from varmistettu, which is the standard past passive participle meaning “verified.” Varmistettuna emphasizes the ongoing status and can convey that verification remains applicable or has been acknowledged as part of a process. It is suitable for contexts where the emphasis is on the condition of being verified rather than on the action of verification itself.

Related terms and notes: Varmistettu and vahvistettu are other Finnish forms related to verification, often used to signal completed verification or confirmation. Varmistettuna is most typically found in formal writing and documentation where the state of verification is highlighted as part of process-oriented language.
