Toteuduttava

Toteuduttava is a Finnish grammatical form used to describe something that is intended to be realized, fulfilled or implemented in the future. It is a present active participle derived from the verb toteuttaa, meaning to realize or implement. In practice, toteuduttava functions as an attributive adjective or noun phrase element in formal or technical texts.

In usage, toteuduttava often appears in planning, requirements engineering and project descriptions to indicate items that are slated for realization but have not yet been completed. The form can convey a sense of obligation or intention depending on context, though the more common expression for “to be implemented” is toteutettava. Because toteuduttava is relatively rare and can be stylistically marked, writers frequently prefer toteutettava or rephrase to avoid ambiguity.

Grammatically, toteuduttava belongs to the set of Finnish present participles formed with the -ttava/-ttuva suffix, used to describe actions or states connected to a noun. It contrasts with toteutuva (something that comes true or happens) and toteutettu (something that has been realized). The choice between these forms hinges on nuance: toteuduttava emphasizes forthcoming realization, while toteutuva emphasizes eventual occurrence, and toteutettu indicates completed realization.
