Ostettaviin

Ostettaviin is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective participle ostettava, usually translated as "to be bought" or "purchasable." It functions as a modifier describing objects that are intended to be purchased. The form appears most often in commercial language, procurement documentation, and linguistic descriptions of Finnish grammar, where it helps express future purchase status of multiple items.

Etymology and morphology: Ostettava is built from the verb ostaa (to buy) with the -ttava participle suffix, yielding a meaning related to "to be bought." The form ostettaviin represents a plural inflection used with nouns in specific cases in Finnish, such as with the illative or other case forms, to indicate items that are to be purchased. The exact case and sentence structure determine its function; ostettaviin is commonly seen in descriptive text and catalogs to denote items that are candidates for purchase.

Usage: In catalogs and procurement lists, ostettaviin is used to label or group items that are planned for purchase. In grammar descriptions, it serves as an example of how Finnish participles decline to express modality and predication. It is not a stand-alone noun but a participial adjective form that works with nouns like tavaroihin or tuotteisiin to frame the concept of "to be bought."

Example: Ostettaviin tuotteisiin kuuluvat elektroniikka ja taloustavarat. In translations, it is often rendered as "purchasable" or "to be purchased" depending on the context. See also ostettava, ostettavat, and related Finnish participles.
