Muistettavia

Muistettavia is a Finnish adjective form meaning “to be remembered” or “memorable.” It is the plural partitive form of muistettava, and is used to describe items that should be remembered or are considered worth remembering. Commonly it appears with a plural noun, as in muistettavia asioita meaning “things to remember” or “memorable things.”

Grammatically, muistettava is formed from the verb muistaa (to remember) with the suffix -ttava, which conveys a sense of obligation or suitability for remembrance. When describing multiple objects, the form becomes muistettavia and typically precedes a noun in the partitive case, for example muistettavia ohjeita (instructions to remember) or muistettavia asioita (things to remember). The phrase can also appear predicatively, as in Nämä asiat ovat muistettavia (“These things are to be remembered”).

Usage of muistettavia is common in educational material, workplace planning, and media when outlining key points, reminders, or memorable aspects. It functions as a flexible descriptor for items that readers or listeners should keep in mind, whether in lists, summaries, or practical guidance. Because the term emphasizes usefulness for memory, it often appears in contexts that stress practical recall rather than aesthetic or emotional memorability.

Related terms include muistettava (singular), meaning “to be remembered” or “memorable,” muistettavuus (memorability), muistaa (to remember), and muistutus (reminder). While muistettavia is predominantly a grammatically driven form, its meaning and usage center on the concept of things that should be remembered.
