ylitetty

Ylitetty is a Finnish term functioning as an adjective and a past participle derived from the verb ylittää, which means to cross over or to exceed. As a participle, ylitetty describes something that has been surpassed, exceeded, or crossed. It is used across contexts such as measurements, limits, borders, and performance, where an amount, threshold, or target has been surpassed.

Grammatical notes: Ylitetty is used as a predicative or adjectival modifier and agrees with the noun in number and case, following standard Finnish declension for adjectives. The core meaning derives from ylittää; the prefix yli- conveys the sense of “over” or “above.”

Usage examples: In everyday language one might encounter phrases like ylitetty raja (a surpassed limit) or ylitettyä arvoa (an exceeded value). The sentence RAIja on ylitetty translates to “the border has been crossed,” a sense commonly used in geopolitical or regulatory contexts. In statistics or quality control, ylitettyä tulosta can indicate a result that exceeds a specified threshold.

Context and nuance: The exact meaning of ylitetty depends on context and can range from a literal crossing (a border) to a figurative exceeding (a limit or target). As with many Finnish participles, it functions both as a modifier and as part of compound verbal constructions when combined with related forms of ylittää.
