Istutettavien

Istutettavien is a Finnish word that functions as the genitive plural form of the present passive participle istutettava, derived from the verb istuttaa, meaning to plant. It conveys the sense of “to be planted” and is used to describe nouns in a genitive phrase, typically indicating which plants or seedlings are to be planted at a future date.

In usage, istutettavien operates as an adjective-like modifier that agrees with the noun it describes in case and number. For example, in the phrase istutettavien kasvien hoito, the noun kasvin (plants) is in genitive plural, and istutettavien modifies it to mean “the plants to be planted.” The form is common in horticultural, agricultural, and planning contexts where lists, inventories, or procedures distinguish items that will be planted.

Differences from related forms are mainly grammatical. Istutettavat is the nominative plural form meaning “plants to be planted” as a subject or object, while istutettavien is used when the rest of the noun phrase is in a genitive context, such as after possessive or in a broader phrase like hoito of the plants to be planted. The term does not stand alone as a verb but as a participial adjective within noun phrases.
