Maksettava

Maksettava is a Finnish term used to describe what must be paid or what is payable. It functions as an adjective meaning due or owing, and can also be used as a noun phrase to refer to items or amounts that require payment. The word is commonly found in financial, accounting, and everyday contexts to indicate obligations that have not yet been settled.

In practice, maksettava is used to modify nouns such as lasku (invoice), summa (amount), or vero (tax). Examples include maksettava lasku (an invoice that must be paid), maksettava vero (tax payable), and maksettava summa (amount payable). In accounting, phrases like maksettavat velat or maksettavat laskut describe liabilities or invoices that a company must pay, corresponding to the English concept of accounts payable.

Grammatical notes: maksettava is formed from the verb maksaa (to pay) with the participial suffix -ttava, yielding a word that literally means “that which must be paid.” It declines like an adjective and can agree with number and case, for example: maksettava summa (singular nominative), maksettavat laskut (plural nominative), maksettavaa rahaa (partitive). In sentences, it is often used predicatively or attributively to indicate obligations that are due.
