Lisättävien

Lisättävien is a Finnish term that functions as the genitive plural form of the present participle lisättävä, meaning something that is to be added or to be added to a collection. In practice, lisättävien is used to indicate the items or elements that are planned to be added to a dataset, list, form, or other compilation.

The base verb is lisätä, “to add.” The participle lisättävä conveys the notion of “to be added” or “addable,” and when it combines with a noun in its genitive plural, the form lisättävien appears. This construction is common in technical, administrative, and software-related language, where it denotes a set of items pending inclusion. For example, lisättävien tietojen lista means “the list of data to be added,” lisättävien rivien määrä means “the number of rows to be added,” and lisättävien kohteiden tiedot refers to the information about the targets to be added.

Usage context and style: Lisättävien is typically found in formal or semi-formal writing, such as documentation, forms, checklists, and data-entry instructions. It functions as a modifier within noun phrases rather than as a stand-alone term. Because it relies on the genitive plural of lisättävä, its precise form appears only in contexts where a following noun is in the genitive plural (for example, lisättävien tietojen, lisättävien rivien).

In sum, lisättävien is a grammatical tool in Finnish for referring to the items that are designated to be added, especially in technical or procedural text. It exemplifies how participles and case endings combine to express planned additions within compound noun phrases.
