Korjattavasta

Korjattavasta is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective or participial phrase korjattava, which comes from the verb korjata (to repair). It denotes a noun phrase describing something that is to be repaired or repairable. As an adjective, korjattavasta can modify nouns and participate in Finnish case inflection like other adjectives and participles.

In use, korjattavasta functions to describe objects that require maintenance or repair. For example, korjattavasta rakennuksesta means “from the building that needs repair.” Common inflected forms include: nominative korjattava rakennus (“a building to be repaired”); genitive korjattavan rakennuksen (“of the building that needs repair”); elative korjattavasta rakennuksesta (“from the building that needs repair”). These show how korjattavasta behaves like a standard Finnish adjective when combined with a noun.

Etymology and grammar: korjattavasta is formed from the verb korjata with the passive present participle suffix -ttava, indicating state or obligation, and the elative case ending -sta/-stä. The construction expresses that something is designated for repair or is in a condition requiring repair, rather than a simple attribute of durability or capability.

Context and usage: korjattavasta appears in maintenance planning, construction, logistics, and technical descriptions where items are categorized by their need for repair. It conveys a specific status—namely, that repair work is anticipated or required.
