Raportoitavan

Raportoitavan is a Finnish grammatical form built from the adjective raportoitettava, meaning “to be reported” or “reportable.” In Finnish, adjectives can function as modifiers of nouns, and when the noun is in the genitive or other cases, the adjective itself inflects. The form raportoitavan is commonly understood as the genitive singular of raportoitettava and is used to describe something that belongs to or is of the type that must be reported.

The term is mainly found in formal or technical language such as legal, regulatory, or compliance texts. It serves to designate information, persons, events, or other items that are subject to reporting obligations. Typical phrases include rapportoitavan tiedon (the information to be reported), raportoitavan henkilön (the person to be reported), or raportoitavan tapahtuman yksityiskohdat (the details of the event that must be reported). The construction often appears as part of noun phrases in which the described item is qualified by the requirement to report it.

Etymology and morphology: raportoitavan is derived from the verb raportoida (to report) with the participial suffix -ttava, forming raportoitettava (“to be reported”). The genitive singular form becomes raportoitavan when modifying a following noun in possessive or genitive construction, or in contexts where the whole phrase refers to the property of the item in question.

Related terms include raportoitettava (the to-be-reported item in base form), raportointi (reporting), and various legal/administrative phrases describing reporting duties. Usage remains mainly in formal documentation rather than everyday speech.
