Laajennettaviin

Laajennettaviin is a Finnish word form derived from the participle laajennettava (meaning "to be expanded" or "expandable"). It is the illative plural form used when the participle modifies a noun in the illative plural, so it appears in constructions that denote motion into or direction toward multiple items that are "to be expanded" or "expandable."

Grammatical formation and meaning: laajentaa ("to expand") yields the passive participle laajennettava ("that should be expanded" / "expandable"). When that participle is inflected for the illative plural case (direction "into" for more than one object), it becomes laajennettaviin. The element -iin marks the illative plural; the stem reflects the participial morphology.

Usage and context: The form commonly appears in technical, architectural, administrative or planning texts where expansion of spaces, capacities or systems is discussed (for example, laajennettaviin tiloihin — "into the spaces to be expanded"). As a case form, laajennettaviin is not used alone but always in agreement with the noun it modifies. Equivalent English renderings depend on context: "into the expandable/expansion-targeted [plural noun]" or "to the areas that will be expanded."

Examples:

- laajennettaviin osiin lisätään palveluja. (Services will be added to the parts that are to be expanded.)
