Perittävien

Perittävien is a Finnish term used in formal or administrative language to refer to charges, fees, or obligations that are to be levied or collected. It is not a standalone concept in everyday speech, but rather a grammatical form—specifically the genitive plural of the adjective-noun perittävä, which describes items that will be charged.

The root of the term is the verb perittää, meaning to levy or collect, especially in contexts such as taxes, invoices, or fees. Perittävä means “to be levied/charged,” and perittävien marks possession or association in phrases describing multiple such charges or obligations. In practice, it commonly appears in noun phrases like perittävien maksujen määrä (the amount of charges to be collected) or perittävien verojen erät (the items of taxes to be collected).

Usage and notes: Perittävien occurs mainly in official documents, accounting, taxation notices, and invoicing language. It should not be confused with perilliset or perintö, which relate to inheritance and heirs rather than charges or collections. In everyday Finnish, speakers more often use specific nouns such as maksut (charges), verot (taxes), or laskut (invoices) rather than the overarching form perittävien.
