Koodattavissa

Koodattavissa is a Finnish adjective meaning "able to be coded" or "programmable." It is formed from the verb koodata (to code) with the suffix -ttavissa, which indicates capability, combined with the inessive ending -ssa. In Finnish tech and software discourse, koodattavissa is used to describe something that can be produced, modified, or controlled by writing code, such as software components, interfaces, or data formats.

In practice, the term appears most often in technical writing to characterize systems or features that can be customized through programming. Examples include koodattavissa oleva rajapinta (an API that can be coded or customized), koodattavissa oleva simulointi (a simulation that can be implemented or extended by code), or koodattavissa olevat asetukset (settings that can be adjusted by writing code). The phrase carries a sense of flexibility and amenability to software-based modification, as opposed to fixed or hardware-only behavior.

The word is closely related to other Finnish terms such as ohjelmoitavissa (programmable) and ohjelmointi (programming). While koodattavissa emphasizes coding with source code, its use is not strictly limited to professional programmers; it can also appear in documentation, specifications, and user guidance where the possibility of coding-based customization is relevant. Etymologically, it reflects common Finnish practice of forming adjectives from verbs with -ttava/-ttavissa to express capability, paired with the locative -ssa to indicate a state or condition.
