Puhallettavana

Puhallettavana is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb meaning to blow or to inflate. In usage, it describes a state related to the action of blowing air into or through something, and it functions as an adjective or as part of a predicate with a copula such as olla. The form is more common in technical, instructional, or medical contexts where processes involving inflation, ventilation, or blowing are described.

In Finnish, the -ttava family of participles yields adjectives that express a state or capability connected to the verb stem. Puhallettavana is formed from the stem puhallett-, resulting in a word that can modify a noun or appear in predicative constructions. The exact nuance depends on the surrounding context and the case marking of the noun it accompanies.

Usage notes:

- Puhallettavana is relatively formal and more likely to appear in manuals, specifications, or descriptive texts than in casual speech.

- For everyday language, speakers may use alternative forms such as puhallettava to indicate “capable of being blown” or other simpler constructions depending on the intended meaning.

- The form can be inflected to align with Finnish grammar (case and number) when it modifies a noun in a sentence.
