Arvottavat

Arvottavat is a Finnish term used to describe items or people that are to be drawn by lottery or selected by a random drawing. The form is commonly employed as an adjective phrase to indicate that a subset will undergo a lottery or drawing process.

In usage, arvottavat typically precedes a noun, such as arvottavat osallistujat (the participants to be drawn) or arvottavat palkinnot (the prizes to be drawn). It is often found in administrative, event planning, or competition contexts where some outcomes are determined by chance rather than by merit. The term helps to distinguish between what is to be drawn and what is already determined.

Morphology and related terms: arvontaa refers to the act of drawing (the lottery), arvottu can denote something that has already been drawn (past participle), and arvottava can mean something that is to be drawn (the future passive form). These related forms are used to express different stages of the same lottery or selection process.
