Lähetettäville

Lähetettäville is a Finnish morpho-syntactic form derived from the verb lähettää (to send). It functions as an attributive participial adjective with the sense “to be sent” or “for sending.” The form is used when describing plural nouns that are in the allative case, effectively meaning “for those/for things to be sent.” In practice it appears in formal or administrative language, especially in logistics, procurement, and document handling.

Morphology and use. Lähetettäville is the allative plural form of the participle lähetettävä (to be sent). As an adjective it agrees with a plural noun in the allative case. This construction allows precise specification of items or recipients that are intended to be dispatched. Examples commonly occur in official wording such as contracts, notices, and shipment instructions.

Examples in context:

- lähetettäville asiakirjoille asetetut määräajat (deadlines set for documents to be sent)

- lähetettäville tuotteille varattu pakkaustila (packing space reserved for products to be sent)

- lähetettäville laskuille annettu maksuaika (payment period assigned for invoices to be sent)

Relationship to related forms. Lähetettäville is part of a family of forms built from the participle lähetettävä. The singular counterpart is lähetettävä (to be sent), and the other plural or case forms (such as lähetettäviä, lähetettävien, etc.) appear in different grammatical contexts to modify corresponding nouns in matching cases.

Notes. The form is characteristic of formal Finnish and is most commonly encountered in written administrative text rather than everyday speech. It illustrates how Finnish uses participles as adjectives to convey explicit instructions about sending or dispatch.
