Lunastettavissa

Lunastettavissa is a Finnish adjective meaning “able to be redeemed” or “redeemable.” It is formed from the verb lunastaa, meaning to redeem, cash, or fulfill, combined with the suffix -ttavissa, which creates a predicative or potential adjective. Grammatically it is used to describe a noun, usually in a predicative construction (for example, Arvopaperi on lunastettavissa, meaning the security is redeemable). The related attributive form lunastettava is commonly used before a noun (lunastettava arvopaperi, a redeemable security).

In practice, lunastettavissa is most often encountered in finance and legal contexts. It characterizes instruments or claims that can be redeemed for cash or other value under specified terms. Examples include debt securities, bonds, warrants, or other financial instruments described as lunastettavissa, indicating a redemption feature at maturity or under certain conditions. The term is used to convey the possibility of redemption without specifying the exact redemption mechanism, which is described in the instrument’s terms and conditions.

Etymologically, lunastettavissa reflects the core concept of redemption (lunastus) and the Finnish capability-form suffix -ttavissa, signaling a state or capability. While commonly used in technical contexts, the term may appear in general discussions of contracts or coupons where redemption rights are relevant.
