Suunnittelemana

Suunnittelemana is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb suunnitella, meaning to plan or design. It functions as an essive participle, expressing a state of being in the design or planning stage. In translation, it conveys ideas such as “as designed” or “in the designed state.”

In practical use, suunnittelemana is employed to describe objects, plans, or proposals that exist in a planned or proposed form rather than in a realized, completed form. It is common in contexts such as architecture, product development, urban planning, and project documentation. The form helps emphasize intention, forthcoming arrangements, or conditions that are contingent on future actions.

Grammatical notes: suunnittelemana can modify a noun or appear predicatively with a linking verb, indicating that the subject is currently in the state of being planned. It is related to other Finnish participles formed from suunnitella, such as suunniteltu (designed/planned) and suunnittelematon (unplanned). The choice of form conveys different stages or attitudes toward the design process.

Nuance and usage: suunnittelemana highlights planning activity and potential outcomes, rather than completed results. It is typically contrasted with forms that denote completed design, such as suunniteltu, to distinguish between what is planned and what exists in reality.
