Hallittavissa

Hallittavissa is a Finnish adjective meaning "capable of being controlled" or "controllable." It describes systems, processes, devices, or software that can be governed, adjusted, or managed, either manually or by automated means. The term is common in technical, organizational, and regulatory contexts to convey the feasibility of control.

Morphology and usage: hallittavissa is formed from the verb hallita (to control) with the present passive participle suffix -ttava, plus the inessive suffix -ssa to indicate a state. The base form hallittava is used attributively (hallittava järjestelmä, a controllable system), while hallittavissa is used predicatively (järjestelmä on hallittavissa, the system is controllable). The noun hallittavuus (“controllability”) is a related term often used in analyses of design and performance.

Contexts and nuance: hallittavissa is widely used in information technology, automation, security, and governance discussions to express that a feature, subsystem, or process can be controlled or regulated. It emphasizes feasibility and capacity for management, rather than current or completed control.

Examples: Järjestelmä on hallittavissa sekä manuaalisesti että automaattisesti. Kehitystyö keskittyy parantamaan hallittavuutta, jotta prosessit pysyvät hallinnassa kustannustehokkaasti. In everyday Finnish, other forms such as ohjattavissa may be used, but hallittavissa is common in formal or technical prose.
