Myönnettävien

Myönnettävien is Finnish and functions as the genitive plural form of the adjective myönnettävä, which means admissible, allowable, or grantable. The term is most commonly encountered in legal and administrative language, where it refers to items, arguments, or considerations that may be accepted under applicable rules or criteria. In practice, it is used to describe things that can be admitted or taken into account, such as evidence, claims, or questions.

Grammatically, myönnettävä is formed from the verb myöntää, meaning to admit or acknowledge, with the participial suffix -ttävä that marks a characteristic as capable of being admitted. In its genitive plural form, the adjective becomes myönnettävien and is used to modify nouns in contexts where the noun itself is in the genitive or partitive, for example myönnettävien todisteiden (admissible evidence) or myönnettävien väitteiden (admissible claims). The phrase structure often appears in legal writing to delineate what can be considered or accepted under procedural rules.

Usage and nuance: myönnettävien carries a formal, often technical tone. It does not imply endorsement but rather compliance with established standards that permit recognition or consideration. It is contrasted with terms for inadmissible or non-allowable items, which are excluded from consideration. Example usages include phrases such as myönnettävien todisteiden arviointi (the assessment of admissible evidence) or myönnettävien kysymysten lista (the list of admissible questions).
