Todennettaviksi

Todennettaviksi is a Finnish grammatical form used to express that something is to be verifiable or provable. It originates from the participial adjective todennettava, meaning verifiable or provable, and is combined with the translative suffix -ksi to indicate a state change or a result oriented toward verification. The form todennettaviksi represents the plural translative variant, with the singular equivalent being todennettavaksi. In Finnish grammar, the translative suffix conveys a transition into a new state, such as becoming verifiable, and the -ksi ending marks the translative case.

In usage, todennettaviksi appears primarily in formal, technical, or legal-analytical contexts rather than in everyday speech. It is typical in writing that discusses what can be demonstrated, proven, or validated, especially when enumerating several items or propositions that are to be subjected to verification. The term is part of a broader family of related forms, including todennettavissa (verifiable or provable in general, often translated as “verifiable”), todennettavuus (verifiability), and todistettavissa (provable or demonstrable). These relatives help distinguish nuances between what can be demonstrated in principle versus what should or must be proven in practice.

Notes on style and scope: todennettaviksi is a technical, often domain-specific term. It is most commonly found in scientific, methodological, or regulatory texts where precise criteria for verification or proof are being stated. In similar contexts, other verbs such as todistaa or todeta may be used to express the act of proving or stating, while todennettaviksi emphasizes the potential or required state of verifiability.
