Annettava

Annettava is a Finnish word formed from the verb antaa (to give) with the -ttava suffix, creating a present passive participle meaning “to be given” or “that is to be given.” In ordinary usage it functions as a deverbal adjective describing something that should be provided, delivered, or supplied. The form is commonly found in formal, administrative, or instructional language.

In Finnish grammar, annettava is a passive participle and behaves like an ordinary adjective, agreeing with the noun it modifies in number and case. It can be used in both singular and plural phrases, such as annettava tieto (a piece of information to be provided) and annettavat tiedot (the information to be provided). The word can also appear as a standalone noun in some contexts to refer to a thing that is to be given or provided, though this usage is less common and typically appears in specific technical or legal texts.

Typical contrasts include the related forms antava, which denotes “giving” rather than “to be given.” The annettava form thus helps express obligations, expectations, or procedural steps where certain information, materials, or actions are designated as to be supplied by someone.

Common contexts for annettava include bureaucratic forms, project specifications, procurement documents, and educational materials, where it indicates items that will be supplied or must be issued.
