Käsitletavateks

Käsitletavateks is a Finnish linguistic form used to denote items that are designated to be processed or dealt with. It is formed from the verb käsitellä (to handle, to process) and the participial stem käsiteltävä, with inflection that marks purpose or destination, often translated as “for processing” or “to be processed.” The form appears mainly in formal or administrative language, such as official documents, checklists, and workflow descriptions.

In practice, käsitletavateks functions as a label or heading indicating that the listed matters are scheduled for handling. It is commonly found in contexts where tasks are divided into groups according to their stage in a process. For example, a document list might begin with a heading such as Hakemukset käsiteltävätteiksi or Hakemukset käsiteltäviksi, depending on the exact construction, to signal that those applications are to be acted upon. The phrase is often part of a larger sentence that assigns responsibility or a deadline for processing.

Related forms include käsitellä (the verb), käsiteltävä (the participial adjective meaning “to be processed”), and other inflected variants such as käsiteltäviksi or käsiteltäväksi, which express different syntactic functions in sentences. Käsitletavateks is characteristic of bureaucratic Finnish and illustrates how participial forms are used to specify items within procedural workflows.
