Kutsuttavia

Kutsuttavia is a Finnish noun form built from the participial suffix -ttava, meaning “the one to be summoned” or “the one to be invited.” In plural, kutsuttavia refers to several individuals who are to be summoned or invited. The term is commonly used in contexts such as legal proceedings, formal meetings, or other situations where certain people are designated to appear or attend.

In Finnish grammar, kutsuttava is a noun/adjective meaning “to be summoned.” Its plural nominative is kutsuttavat, and its plural partitive is kutsuttavia. Other common forms include genitive plural kutsuttavien and partitive singular kutsuttavaa, with the full paradigm following standard -ava/-vä suffix patterns for participial nouns.

Usage notes:

- Kutsuttavia usually denotes people who are required to attend or participate, rather than those who merely received an invitation.

- Kutsuttavat is the more common nominative form when referring to the group as subjects; kutsuttavia is used when the group is in a partitive role or described as a subset of a larger entity.

- In legal or administrative language, the term often appears in phrases such as “kutsuttavat todistajat” (the witnesses to be summoned) or “kutsuttavien lista” (the list of those to be summoned).

Examples:

- Kutsuttavat todistajat saapuvat oikeuteen.
