Selvittävän

Selvittävän is a Finnish word that functions as a grammatical form. It is the genitive plural of the noun "selvitys," which means "investigation," "inquiry," "clarification," or "report." Therefore, "selvittävän" literally translates to "of the investigations," "of the inquiries," "of the clarifications," or "of the reports" when referring to multiple instances of these.

In Finnish grammar, the genitive case often indicates possession or a relationship between nouns. The plural form is used when referring to more than one "selvitys." So, "selvittävän" would be used in a sentence where a noun possesses or is related to multiple investigations or reports. For example, a phrase like "tutkimuksen selvittävän tulokset" would mean "the results of the investigation's reports" or "the results of the investigations' reports."

The word "selvittäminen" is also related, meaning "the act of investigating" or "the process of clarifying." The adjective form "selvitettävä" means "to be investigated" or "to be clarified." Understanding the context in which "selvittävän" appears is crucial for accurate translation and comprehension of Finnish sentences, as its precise meaning depends on the other words it interacts with. It is a common grammatical construction in formal Finnish, particularly in official documents, legal texts, and academic writing.
