Suunnittelevia

Suunnittelevia is a Finnish linguistic form used as the present active participle of the verb suunnitella, meaning “to plan.” In everyday use, it functions as an adjective describing ongoing planning and, in plural form, can modify plural nouns in the partitive case. The word conveys that the described items are under planning rather than completed.

In practice, suunnittelevia appears in phrases where the noun it describes is plural and in the partitive: for example, suunnittelevia hankkeita means “projects that are being planned” or “planning projects.” This participial form thus expresses ongoing activity and is commonly used in formal or technical contexts such as project planning, policy documents, and planning discussions.

Grammatically, suunnittelevia is part of the Finnish system of present active participles, which derive from verbs and can modify nouns similarly to adjectives. The form changes to align with the case and number of the noun it modifies; in this case, with a plural noun in the partitive, the ending becomes -via/-viä, giving suunnittelevia as the standard example.

Relation to other forms: the corresponding singular nominative would be suunnitteleva (one planning person or thing), and the 3rd person plural verb form is suunnittelevat (they plan). Unlike a pure noun, suunnittelevia remains a participial adjective, its precise meaning depending on the noun it accompanies.

Overall, suunnittelevia serves as a concise way to indicate ongoing planning activity in plural noun phrases within Finnish text.
