Toimeenpanevaa

Toimeenpanevaa is the partitive singular form of the present active participle of the Finnish verb toimeenpanna, meaning to implement, carry out, or put into effect. The present active participle functions as an adjective describing ongoing or operative action, and is formed with the suffix -va/-vä attached to the verb stem. The nominative singular is toimeenpaneva, and the partitive singular, which appears in phrases where the modified noun is in partitive, is toimeenpanevaa. Other inflections follow standard Finnish participle patterns (toimeenpanevan, toimeenpanevat, toimeenpanevien, etc.).

In use, the participle conveys that the noun it modifies is involved in implementation or execution. It is common in governance, policy, and administrative language to form compound expressions such as implementing regulations or implementing actors. The -va participle indicates ongoing action or a state related to execution, rather than a completed result, and it can function attributively or in predicative constructions.

Examples include:

- Toimeenpaneva säädös astui voimaan. (An implementing regulation came into effect.)

- Tarvitaan toimeenpanevaa toimijaa. (We need an implementing actor.)

- Toimeenpanevan suunnitelman toteuttaminen vaatii resursseja. (The implementation of the implementing plan requires resources.)
