Käännettäväksi

Käännettäväksi is a Finnish word that translates to "to be translated" or "for translation." It functions as the illative case of the infinitive form of the verb kääntää, which means "to translate" or "to turn." Therefore, "käännettäväksi" indicates a purpose or a destination for something that is to undergo translation.

The word is used when describing an object, text, or concept that is intended for translation into another language. For example, one might say "Tämä kirja on käännettäväksi saksaksi," meaning "This book is to be translated into German." The grammatical structure implies that the action of translation is either a future necessity or a planned activity. It can also be used in a more abstract sense, referring to something that requires interpretation or conversion from one form to another, not strictly linguistic translation. The context in which "käännettäväksi" appears will clarify the specific meaning.
