Analysoitavista

Analysoitavista is a Finnish grammatical form used to indicate items that are to be analyzed. It is the elative plural of the participial adjective analysoitettava, derived from analysoida (to analyze). The form typically functions as a modifier within noun phrases, especially in scholarly or planning texts, to label data, materials, or objects that will undergo analysis.

In use, analysoitavista appears in phrases such as analysoitavista tiedoista (from data to be analyzed) or analysoitavista aineistoista (from datasets to be analyzed). The construction shows how Finnish can compress relative clauses with participial adjectives rather than using a finite clause, e.g., tietoja, jotka on analysoitava.

Morphology and usage notes: the -vista ending marks the elative plural. The base is analysoitettava, a participial adjective meaning “to be analyzed.” This form belongs to the broader Finnish pattern of -ttava/-ttävä participial adjectives that modify nouns. The form changes with case and number, producing variants such as analysoitavassa, analysoitavasta, analysoitavien, and so on, depending on the syntactic role.

Context and style: analysoitavista is common in written Finnish, particularly in scientific, methodological, or project-planning texts. It allows concise expression of planned or ongoing analysis, avoiding full relative clauses. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for simpler constructions or finite clauses instead.
