Erottettaviksi

Erottettaviksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb erottaa, meaning to separate or distinguish. It is the translative plural form of the present passive participle erottettava and is used to express that something is to be separated or distinguished in a process, i.e., a state of being separable or identifiable in the course of an activity. The form appears mainly in technical, instructional, or analytical texts and is uncommon in everyday speech.

Morphology and forms: The base verb is erottaa. The present passive participle is erottettava, meaning able to be separated. The singular translative form is erottettavaksi, and the plural translative form is erottettaviksi. The translative suffix indicates a change into a state or role, so erottettaviksi can mean “to become separable or to be separated (as plural).” The construction is used to describe goals, outcomes, or designations in procedural or descriptive passages.

Usage and context: Erottettaviksi is used in contexts such as manufacturing, chemistry, data processing, taxonomy, and linguistics, where items, substances, or observations are described as capable of being separated or distinguished, often as a planned or intended outcome. It commonly appears in instructions, specifications, or analytical discussions that address how components should be treated or classified.
