Johdettavien

Johdettavien is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the genitive plural of the participial adjective johdettava. The word conveys the sense of “to be led” or “to be directed” and is used to describe nouns that are meant to be guided or managed by someone else. In practice, it functions as a modifier in noun phrases rather than as a standalone term.

In usage, johdettavien appears in formal or administrative contexts where one discusses items, groups, or tasks that require leadership or direction. Examples include johdettavien asioiden lista (a list of matters to be led or managed) and johdettavien ryhmien ohjaus (the guidance of groups that are to be led). The form is primarily found in written, especially organizational or planning, Finnish. Morphologically, johdettavien is the genitive plural; the corresponding forms include johdettavat (nominative plural), johdettavan (genitive singular), and johdettavaa (partitive singular).

Etymology-wise, johdettava derives from the verb root joht- (to lead or direct) with the -ttava participial suffix, indicating “to be led” in construction, and the -ien ending marks the genitive plural in modern Finnish grammar. The term is not a common everyday noun but a descriptive legal or administrative expression.
