Siirrettäväksi

Siirrettäväksi is a Finnish translative form of the adjective siirrettävä, which means transferable or movable. In Finnish grammar, the translative case (-ksi) marks a change of state or the resulting state of an action. Therefore siirrettäväksi literally conveys “to become transferable” or “to be made transferable” and can also express “to be transferred” depending on context.

Usage of siirrettäväksi is common in formal or technical language, such as data handling, logistics, and legal texts, where objects, data, or documents are described in terms of moving or being transformed into a different state. The exact sense depends on the surrounding verb or construction. For example, a sentence might indicate that a file is to be transferred to another system or that an item is to be made transferable under certain conditions.

Etymology and form: siirrettäväksi is built from the verb siirtää (“to transfer” or “to move”) with the adjectival participle siirrettävä (“transferable”) and the translative suffix -ksi. The form reflects a change of state rather than a simple attribute alone, aligning with Finnish patterns for expressing transitions.

Related forms include siirrettävä (the base adjective meaning “transferable”) and the verb siirtää. The term is typically encountered in technical documentation, planning materials, and descriptions of procedures involving relocation, data migration, or changes in status that require authorization or processing to complete the transfer.
