Kontrolloitavan

Kontrolloitavan is the genitive singular form of the Finnish participial adjective kontrolloitava, which means “to be controlled” or “controllable.” In Finnish, kontrolloitava can function as an adjective or a noun and refers to the subject that is under control or the object of a control process. The form kontrolloitavan signals possession or association with the controlled item, as in phrases describing who or what is subject to control.

Usage: The term is common in legal, regulatory, and technical texts to designate the target of inspection, monitoring, or regulation. It emphasizes that the entity is the object of the control rather than the agent performing it. Examples include kontrolloitavan kohteen valvonta (supervision of the object to be controlled) and kontrolloitavan tiedon käsittely (processing of information about the subject to be controlled).

Etymology and notes: Kontrolleri-related vocabulary in Finnish derives from kontrolloida (to control) with the -ttava participle suffix, forming kontrolloitava to describe something that is to be controlled. The genitive singular form used in compounds is kontrolloitavan, denoting “of the controllable/subject to control.” The term is mainly encountered in formal or technical language rather than everyday speech.
