Tarkasteltavana

Tarkasteltavana is a Finnish word meaning "under consideration" or "being examined." It is formed from the verb tarkastella ("to examine, to review") combined with the adjectival/participial suffix -tava and the essive case ending -na, which together convey the sense "in the state of being examined" or "as something to be examined."

The term is common in formal, academic and administrative language. Typical uses include phrases like "tarkasteltavana on" ("under consideration is") and "aihe tarkasteltavana" ("the subject under review"). It functions both as a predicative expression indicating that a topic or item is currently being considered and as a modifier describing an entity in that state.

Examples:

- "Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltavana oli potilasdata." (In the study, patient data was examined.)

- "Ehdotus on tarkasteltavana komiteassa." (The proposal is under consideration by the committee.)

Related forms include tarkasteltava ("to be examined" or "examinable"), tarkasteltavissa ("can be examined"), and tarkasteltavaksi ("to be examined, into a state of review"). Synonyms in Finnish depend on context and may include arvioitavana, tutkittavana or käsiteltävänä. The word emphasizes process and state rather than a final judgment, and it often signals that further analysis, discussion or decision-making will follow.
