Suodattaviin

Suodattaviin is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective-participle suodattava, which comes from the verb suodattaa meaning “to filter.” The form functions as an adjective meaning “filtering” or “that filters” and is used before plural nouns in the illative case, indicating movement into something that filters. In practice, suodattaviin appears in technical or descriptive prose to refer to components or processes that perform filtration.

Etymology and form: suodattava = filtering, derived from suodattaa with the -ava participle suffix. To express “into the filtering …” in plural illative, the ending -iin is added, yielding suodattaviin. Finnish adjectives and participles agree with the noun they modify in number and case, so suodattaviin must match a plural illative noun.

Morphology notes: The base form is suodattava. Other cases and numbers include nominative singular suodattava, genitive suodattavan, and partitive suodattavaa. The illative plural form suodattaviin is most common when describing movement toward multiple filtering items or systems.

Usage and examples: Suodattaviin is not a standalone noun but a grammatical form used to describe filtration-related objects or processes. Example: Vesi johdettiin suodattaviin järjestelmiin. (“The water was directed into the filtering systems.”) The phrase shows how suodattaviin modifies a plural illative noun to specify direction toward filtration components.
