Skannattavan

Skannattavan is a Finnish-language term that functions as a declined form of the adjective skannattava, meaning scannable. It is used in noun phrases to indicate that an object can be scanned, a usage common in document management, imaging workflows, and data-entry contexts. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify; thus skannattavan appears before the noun it modifies when the phrase forms a larger construction such as skannattavan asiakirjan skannaus or skannattavan tiedoston laatu. The exact form depends on the noun and the grammatical context.

Usage notes:

- Skannattavan is typically found in technical or administrative language related to scanning documents or images.

- It denotes the property of being suitable for scanning, rather than describing the act of scanning itself.

Examples:

- Skannattavan asiakirjan skannaus osoittautui epäluotettavaksi. (The scanning of the scannable document proved unreliable.)

- Skannattavan tiedoston laatu on tärkeä mittari arkkitehtuurikuvissa. (The quality of the scannable file is an important metric in architectural imaging.)

Origin and related terms:

- The form derives from skannata (to scan) and skannattava (scannable).

- Related terms include skanneri (scanner) and skannaus (scanning). See also Finnish grammar resources on adjectives and noun phrases.
