Julkistettavaksi

Julkistettavaksi is a Finnish verbal form derived from the verb julkistaa, meaning to publish or reveal. It is a participial/infinitival construction that expresses that something is to be made public or disclosed. The form is built from the stem julkistett- and the translative suffix -ksi, producing a sense of “to be published” or “for publication.” It is most often found in formal or bureaucratic language.

In use, julkistettavaksi typically appears in contexts involving plans, releases, or announcements that are intended for public dissemination. It can function as a predicative complement or as part of a noun phrase describing an item that will be made public. For example, phrases such as hankkeen tulokset ovat julkistettavaksi ensi kuussa (the project results are to be published next month) are common in official communications or publishing schedules. The construction tends to be more frequent in institutional, governmental, or research-related materials than in everyday conversation.

Compared with related forms, julkistettavaksi is distinct from julkistettava (the related form meaning “to be published” in a more general sense) and from julkistettu (the past passive form meaning “has been published”). The -ksi translative suffix signals a change of status toward becoming something, here “being published.” In ordinary speech, speakers often use simpler expressions like julkaistaan or julkistetaan, reserving julkistettavaksi for formal or written contexts.
