Osallistuttavan

Osallistuttavan is a Finnish grammatical form rooted in the verb osallistua, meaning to participate. It is the genitive singular of the present active participle osallistuttava, which describes someone or something that participates or involves others. In this use, osallistuttava functions as an adjective-like participle, and its genitive singular form, osallistuttavan, is employed to modify a following noun or to express possession or association in a noun phrase.

In practical terms, osallistuttavan appears in constructions where the emphasis is on participation or involvement. For example, in the phrase osallistuttavan toiminnan vaikutukset, the word plays a role in characterizing the activity as participatory and in linking it to its effects. Another common usage is hankkeeseen osallistuttavan henkilön rooli, meaning the role of the person who participates in the project. The participle thus helps convey a sense of ongoing or potential participation without using a separate clause.

Osallistuttavan differs from related forms. The stand-alone noun osallistuja refers to a participant, i.e., a person who participates. The noun osallistuttaminen denotes the act or process of involving or including others. The participle form, including its genitive case, offers a compact way to describe attributes or relationships tied to participation within a noun phrase.

Usage notes: Finnish participles can function as predicates or modifiers. When used attributively, the participle agrees in case, number, and definiteness with the noun it modifies. The genitive form osallistuttavan is specifically used when the dependent noun requires a genitive modifier, preserving the language’s nominal structure.
