Huomioitavaan

Huomioitavaan is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective huomiotettava, which derives from the verb huomioida meaning to notice or to take into account. The base form huomiotettava describes something that should be noticed or considered. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify in case, number, and definiteness. Huomioitavaan is the illative singular form, used when the noun it modifies is in the illative case, often translated as “to the matter to be noted” or “for the matter to be considered.” The form is most commonly found in formal or technical writing, such as policy documents, legal texts, or project plans, where it signals items that must be taken into account.

Usage notes and function: huomiotettava is used to label or point to aspects that warrant attention or must be contemplated in a given context. It often appears in phrases where a noun in illative case is described as something that should be treated with special care or consideration. Because it is a specialized, form-specific construction, it is less common in everyday conversation but frequent in written Finnish that deals with requirements, instructions, or evaluations.

Examples: Tämän asiakirjan huomioitettavaan seikkaan viitataan useasti. Lisäksi huomioitavaan seikkaan liittyvät ohjeet on noudatettava. These phrases illustrate how the illative form connects the concept of notice or consideration with the noun it modifies.
