Ohjattava

Ohjattava is a Finnish word derived from the verb ohjata ("to steer, guide, direct") combined with the derivational suffix -ttava. It functions both as an adjective and as a noun, with meanings that depend on context.

As an adjective, ohjattava commonly describes something that can be guided or controlled, or something that should be guided. In technical and engineering contexts it refers to systems, devices or processes that are steerable or subject to external control (for example ohjattava laite — a controllable device, or ohjattava järjestelmä — a steerable system). In regulatory or operational language it can indicate required action (e.g., ohjattava prosessi — a process to be managed).

As a noun, ohjattava denotes a person who receives guidance or supervision, such as a trainee, supervisee or mentee (for example ohjattavat opiskelijat — students under supervision). This usage appears in educational, clinical and workplace training contexts.

The exact English equivalent depends on usage: common translations include controllable, steerable, guided, to be guided, supervisee and trainee. Related Finnish terms include ohjata (to guide), ohjattu (guided/controlled) and ohjattavuus (controllability). Context determines whether the emphasis is on capability (can be guided), obligation (should be guided) or role (one who is guided).
