Eritettävän

Eritettävän is a Finnish grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item. It is the genitive singular form of the participial adjective eritettävä, which derives from the verb erottaa (to separate, to distinguish). The participle eritettävä generally conveys the sense “that must be separated” or “to be separated,” and the genitive form eritettävän is used to modify a noun in a possessive or descriptive sense.

In practice, eritettävän appears in contexts where a specific part, portion, or element is identified as something that should be separated, earmarked, or allocated. It is common in technical, legal, accounting, and financial texts, as well as in linguistic or grammatical explanations where a qualifier describes a noun.

Usage notes:

- Eritettävän is a determiner-like modifier that ties the qualifier directly to the noun it describes, often indicating a planned or required separation.

- The form is one example of Finnish participial endings, illustrating how adjectives and participles decline to match case and number with the noun they accompany.

Examples:

- erittävän summan arvo (the value of the amount to be separated)

- eritettävän osan määrääminen (the act of earmarking the portion to be separated)

Eritettävän therefore functions as a grammatical tool to express “the X that is to be separated,” appearing most often in formal or technical language. See also erottaminen, erottava, and eritettäviä for related forms and concepts.
