Opetettavaksi

Opetettavaksi is a Finnish non-finite form derived from the verb opettaa, meaning to teach. It is the translative form of the -ttava participle opetettava and is used to indicate a change of state or a purpose related to teaching. The form is mainly discussed in Finnish grammar and linguistic descriptions and is not a common everyday construction.

Morphology and meaning: The base opinion is built from the stem of the -ttava participle and the translative suffix, yielding opetettavaksi. It conveys notions such as “to become teachable” or “in order to be taught,” depending on the surrounding clause. The word is related to the noun opetettavuus (teachability) and to phrases that express outcomes or goals of instruction.

Usage and style: Opetettavaksi tends to appear in educational theory, grammar explanations, or formal texts rather than in casual speech. In practice, it helps to frame statements about processes of instruction, potential states reached through teaching, or aims of pedagogical activity. Its precise interpretation is influenced by the larger syntactic structure and the verbs that accompany it.

Relation to other terms: It connects with other teaching-related words such as opettaa (to teach), opetus (instruction), and opetettavuus (teachability). Understanding opetettavaksi provides insight into how Finnish forms indicate transformations and purposes within educational or linguistic contexts.
