Noteerattava

Noteerattava is a Finnish adjective meaning that something should be noted or is worth noting, often translated as "to be noted" or "notable" depending on context. It is formed from the verb noteera (to note, annotate) with the present-active participle suffix -ttava, producing a label for items that require attention or documentation.

In practice, noteerattava describes items that must be recorded, annotated, or mentioned in a text, dataset, or report. Common usages include phrases such as noteerattavat havainnot (observations to be noted) or noteerattava tieto (note-worthy information). The sense can range from a mild reminder to a directive to document something explicitly.

Etymologically, the word combines noteera- with the -ttava suffix to form an attributive adjective. It is primarily used in formal, technical, or academic Finnish, and appears frequently in guidelines, checklists, or methodological sections where precise notation is required.

Noteerattava is related to, but distinct from, more everyday terms like huomioitava (to be considered) or merkittävä (significant). In general language, skrivning or explicit annotation may be phrased differently, but noteerattava remains a specialized term for contexts where recording or highlighting specific items is necessary.
