Ohjattavan

Ohjattavan is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective ohjattava, meaning steerable or controllable. The adjective is derived from the verb ohjata, to direct or steer. It is used to describe devices, systems, or components that can be guided or commanded, either by human input or by automation.

In practice, ohjattava describes the capability of an object, and ohjattavan appears when the described object is in a possessive relation to another noun. For example, ohjattavan laitteen ohjaus means the control of the steerable device, and ohjattavan laitteen toiminta refers to the operation of the steerable device. The form is common in technical and consumer contexts, such as robotics, automotive technology, and automation. Phrases like etäohjattavan laitteen or kauko-ohjattavan robotin illustrate how the term is used with remote-control modifiers.

The term is often discussed alongside related forms. It contrasts with ohjattu (controlled or driven) and with remote-control variants such as etäohjattava or kauko-ohjattava. The nuance is that ohjattava denotes the potential or capability to be steered, whereas ohjattu emphasizes that steering has already taken place. In Finnish technical writing, ohjattava and its inflected forms help describe systems, components, and devices whose operation can be directed by a user or automated control.
