Hylättäväksi

Hylättäväksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb hylätä, meaning to abandon or reject. It is the translative form of the participle hylättävä, used to express that something is designated to be rejected or discarded or that it is becoming such a state. The suffix -ksi signals a change of state or designation, roughly translating to “to become X” or “to be made X.”

The form is most common in formal, administrative, or legal language. It can appear in predicative constructions with olla (to be) or in phrases where something is described as destined for rejection or disposal. For example, hakemus on hylättäväksi todettu (the application has been found to be rejected), and hylättäväksi tarkoitettu aine (an item intended for disposal). In official texts, hylättäväksi may also appear with verbs like julistaa (to declare) or määrätä (to order), yielding phrases that indicate a decision or designation to reject.

Difference from related forms: hylätty is the finite past participle meaning “rejected.” Hylättäväksi conveys a prospective or designated state—something that is to be rejected, or has been declared to be in that state—often in formal decision-making contexts. Everyday language tends to use simpler forms like hylätty or hyväksytty, while hylättäväksi carries nuance of a formal designation or change of status.
