Muodostettavaan

Muodostettavaan is the illative singular form of the Finnish attributive participle muodosta­vat­­taa, derived from the verb muodostaa meaning to form, create or establish. The participle muoto­stava (to be formed) can function as an adjective, and its illative singular form muodostettavaan is used when the phrase denotes “into the form/state that is to be formed.”

In terms of morphology, muodostettavaan combines the participle stem muodosta­vatte-/muodostettava- with the illative suffix -an, signaling direction toward a state or form. This form appears in contexts where a noun is implicitly or explicitly linked to a forthcoming or intended form or condition.

Usage notes:

- Muodostettavaan is typically found in formal, technical, or descriptive language, especially in linguistic, scientific, or planning texts that discuss states or forms that are to be achieved.

- It often appears in phrases such as muodostettavaan tilaan (“into the form/state to be formed”) or muodostettavaan muotoon, where the illative phrase modifies a noun such as tila or muoto.

- In everyday Finnish, speakers may use simpler constructions or other participial forms; the illative of a participle tends to appear more in written or慎 contexts.

Example (Finnish): Hankkeessa tavoitteena on siirtyä muodostettavaan tilaan.

Translation: The project aims to shift into the to-be-formed state.
