Liimattavaa

Liimattavaa is a Finnish adjective form meaning glueable or capable of being glued. It describes materials or surfaces that can be bonded with adhesives and is commonly used in technical, manufacturing, and construction contexts. The word is derived from the verb liimata (to glue) with the present passive participle suffix -ttava, producing liimattava, whose partitive singular form is liimattavaa.

In Finnish grammar, liimattava functions as an attributive adjective that agrees in number and case with the noun it modifies. When the noun is in the partitive case, the form takes liimattavaa (for example, liimattavaa materiaalia = glueable material). The nominative singular form is liimattava, plural is liimattavat, and partitive plural is liimattavia.

Common usage examples include: Tarvitsemme liimattavaa materiaalia. Tämä kartonki on liimattava. The term contrasts with liima, the glue itself, and with the active participle liimaava (gluing), which describes an action rather than a property.
