Saavutettavalla

Saavutettavalla is the adessive singular form of the Finnish adjective saavutettava, meaning accessible, attainable, or reachable. It is used to describe a noun in a way that indicates the object is located at or related to something that can be reached or accessed.

Morphology and grammar: Saavutettava derives from the verb saavuttaa (to achieve, reach) with the participial suffix -ttava, which yields an adjective meaning “able to be reached/attained.” The adessive ending -lla/-llä marks location or context, so saavutettavalla translates roughly as “on/at an accessible/attainable” or more generally “in an accessible context.” This form is typically used in phrases where the noun it modifies appears in a case that expresses location or state, for example on an accessible site or area.

Usage and contexts: In Finnish, the form emphasizes the relationship of the object to accessibility or reachability, and it is common in discussions of physical accessibility, digital accessibility, or information availability. It is often contrasted with saavutettavissa (“accessible/attainable in general or in a broader sense”) and with saavutettavuus, the noun meaning accessibility.

Examples:

- Tiedot ovat saavutettavalla verkkosivulla. (The information is on an accessible website.)

- Rakennus sijaitsee saavutettavalla alueella. (The building is on an accessible area.)

- Kohde on saavutettavalla reitillä. (The destination is on an accessible route.)

See also: saavutettavuus (accessibility), esteettömyys (barrier-free access).

Etymology: From the verb saavuttaa plus the participial suffix -ttava, with the adessive case ending -lla/-llä.
