Muokattavan

Muokattavan is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective muokattava, meaning “editable” or “to be edited.” The base form muokattava describes something that can be edited, while muokattavan marks the adjective when it modifies a noun in the genitive case or forms a genitive phrase.

In Finnish grammar, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify in number and case. Therefore muokattavan appears when the noun it describes is in genitive singular. For example, muokattavan tekstin muokkaukset translates roughly as “edits to the editable text” or “the editable text’s edits.” Other related forms include muokattava teksti (editable text) in nominative and muokattavaa tekstiä (editable text in partitive).

In contemporary usage, muokattavan is common in technical writing, software localization, and user interfaces to indicate content that a user can modify. It signals that the object is subject to modification, rather than being fixed. It is part of a regular declension pattern derived from muokata, the verb “to edit,” and does not constitute a separate lexical item beyond its inflected form.

Examples of usage:

- muokattavan tekstin muokkaukset

- muokattavan sisällön arvo

- käyttäjälle muokattava tiedosto
