Suojattavia

Suojattavia is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “protectable” or “that can be protected.” It is the plural partitive form of the participial adjective suojattava, which comes from the verb suojata (to protect). In use, suojattavia functions as a modifier describing items, values, rights, or targets that may require protection.

Common contexts for suojattavia include formal or technical writing, such as policy documents, risk assessments, ethics discussions, and data protection discussions. Typical phrases include suojattavia arvoja (protectable values), suojattavia oikeuksia (rights to be protected), and suojattavia kohteita (targets to protect).

Grammatical notes: suojattava is the base form, and suojattavia is the plural partitive inflection used when the noun it modifies is in partitive or when the quantity is indefinite. While suojattavia is usually a modifier in noun phrases, it is not typically used as a standalone noun. A related noun is suojattavuus, meaning “protectability” or the degree to which something is protectable.

In Finnish discourse, suojattavia helps express the concept of what should or can be protected, distinguishing protectable items from those already protected or inherently protected.
