Rakennettavia

Rakennettavia is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb rakentaa, meaning to build. It is the partitive plural form of the passive present participle rakennettava, which translates roughly as “to be built” or “buildable.” As an attributive adjective, rakennettavia is used to describe nouns that refer to items planned or intended for construction, rather than those already completed. In Finnish, participial adjectives commonly express future or potential state, and rakennettavia signals that sense in plural noun phrases.

The form is frequent in planning, architecture, and construction contexts. Examples include: "Rakennettavia kohteita on useita." (There are several sites to be built.) and "Rakennettavia rakennuksia koskevat määräykset ovat tiukat." (The regulations concerning buildings to be constructed are strict.) These usages show how rakennettavia governs nouns in the partitive case to indicate indefinite or not-yet-completed objects.

Related forms include nominative rakennettava (singular) and rakennettavat (nominative plural). The corresponding partitive plural is rakennettavia, as in the examples above. A closely related adjective, rakennettavissa, describes something that can be built: for instance, "rakennettavissa oleva tontti" means a plot of land that can be built on. These forms are commonly encountered in legal, planning, and contractual language, where specifying future or potential construction is necessary.
