Laadittavat

Laadittavat is a Finnish term used primarily in administrative and project-management language to denote items that must be drafted or prepared. It functions as the plural form of the predicative adjective laadittava, meaning “to be drafted” or “to be prepared.” In practice, laadittavat refers to multiple documents, forms, data items, or other materials that are expected to undergo drafting as part of a process.

Etymology and grammar: the form is built from the verb laadita, meaning to draft or prepare, plus the suffix -ttava, which yields a non-finite adjective meaning “to be drafted.” The plural is marked with -vat, giving laadittavat for multiple items. The singular counterpart is laadittava. In grammatical usage, the phrase often occurs with a noun, as in laadittavat tiedot (the data to be drafted) or laadittavat lomakkeet (the forms to be prepared).

Usage: laadittavat is commonly found in procedural texts, workflows, and policy documents to specify what must be produced or completed. It is used to describe items that are not yet ready but are destined to be created during a given process. The term is typical in formal Finnish, especially when listing requirements, deliverables, or steps in a procedure.

Related forms include laadittava (singular, to be drafted) and related inflected forms such as laadittavan and laadittavien for genitive cases. The concept is closely tied to Finnish formal drafting and planning language, where clear identification of pending materials helps organize workflows and responsibilities.
