Suositteleva

Suositteleva is the present active participle of the Finnish verb suositella, meaning to recommend. As an adjective, it describes someone or something that makes recommendations or is characterized by the act of recommending. It is formed by adding the suffix -va to the verb stem.

In ordinary Finnish, suositteleva is relatively rare; more common adjectival forms are suositeltava (advisable, recommended) and suositeltu (recommended, having been recommended). Suositteleva is used when the emphasis is on the act of recommending or on the agent performing recommendations. It can appear in technical or descriptive contexts, for example suositteleva järjestelmä (a recommender system) or suositteleva lausunto (a statement that recommends).

Grammatically, suositteleva behaves like other Finnish adjectives, agreeing with the noun in number and case. It may appear in compound terms and is typically used where the meaning is "recommending" rather than simply "advisable."

Related terms include suositeltava and suositeltu, and the noun suositus (recommendation).
