Piilotettaviksi

Piilotettaviksi is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective piilotettava, meaning hideable or able to be hidden. The form is used to indicate that something should be or has been transformed into a hidden state. It is most common in formal or technical language, particularly in archival, privacy, and information-security contexts.

Grammatical notes: piilotettaviksi is the translative plural form of piilotettava, signaling a change of state for multiple items. In practice it appears in phrases such as asetettu piilotettaviksi or merkitty piilotettaviksi, where the action aims to designate the objects as hidden. The singular counterpart is piilotettavaksi, used with singular subjects.

Usage context: The term is typical in official documents, policy language, or data-handling guidelines. It conveys a deliberate choice to withholding access or disclosure, rather than a temporary or incidental concealment. It can refer to information, documents, or physical materials that must be kept confidential or restricted from public view.

Common examples of usage patterns include: asetettu piilotettaviksi, merkitty piilotettaviksi, or described as piilotettavaksi in administrative texts. Because it is a niche, bureaucratic construction, piilotettaviksi is less frequent in everyday speech and more likely to appear in formal procedures, regulations, or archival descriptions.
