Haettavaa

Haettavaa is a Finnish linguistic form derived from the adjective haettava, which in turn comes from the verb hakea, meaning to fetch, seek or apply for. Haettava describes something that is intended to be sought or requested, and haettavaa is the partitive singular form used when the noun it modifies is indefinite or not yet specified. In practice, haettavaa often appears in formal or administrative language to indicate items that people may apply for or pursue.

In usage, haettavaa signals a future or potential action rather than something already obtained. This makes it common in contexts such as funding, permits, or job-related processes, where the item is something applicants are expected to seek or apply for. The exact nuance of haettavaa is shaped by its grammatical surroundings and the noun it accompanies.

Examples of the construction include phrases like haettavaa apurahaa (a grant to be applied for), haettavaa rahoitusta (financing to be sought), or haettavaa työtä (work to be sought). These expressions are typical in official announcements, calls for proposals, and guidelines that describe what applicants should pursue.

See also: hakea, hakemus, haettava. Note that haettavaa is primarily a grammatical form used within a broader family of haettava-related expressions, rather than a standalone lexical entry with a fixed independent meaning. For precise usage, consulting contemporary Finnish style guides or official language resources is recommended.
