Konfiguroitavan

Konfiguroitavan is a Finnish participial adjective form derived from the verb konfiguroida, meaning something that can be configured or is to be configured. It is the present passive participle with the suffix -ttava, and in its genitive singular form it appears as konfiguroitavan. The word is commonly used to describe software, hardware, or systems that can be adjusted or set up according to needs.

Morphologically, konfiguroitavan is the genitive singular form of konfiguroitava. The base form is konfiguroitava; other cases include konfiguroitava (nominative), konfiguroitavan (genitive), konfiguroitavaa (partitive), and plural forms such as konfiguroitavat (nominative plural). This pattern follows the standard decline of -ava adjectives in Finnish.

In usage, konfiguroitavan is primarily employed as an attributive modifier before a noun to express configurability, for example: konfiguroitavan ohjelman asetukset (the settings of the configurable program). It can appear in technical and product documentation, requirements texts, and user manuals to indicate that a component or system is configurable. In predicative positions, the sense is similar but less common; the phrase often relies on context to convey that something is meant to be configured or is capable of configuration.

Examples:

- Konfiguroitavan laitteen ohjeet löytyvät näiltä sivuilta. (The instructions for the configurable device are found here.)

- Tarvitaan konfiguroitavan ohjelman asennusohjeet. (Installation instructions for the configurable software are needed.)

- Järjestelmä tarjoaa konfiguroitavan moduulin laajennettavuuden. (The system offers a configurable module for extendability.)

Etymology: sourced from konfiguroida, borrowed from the concept of configuration, with the Finnish -ava/-ttava nominalized participle pattern, creating forms that describe things that can be configured.
