Tuottavilla

Tuottavilla is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective tuottava, meaning productive. It functions as an attributive adjective in the adessive plural form (-lla/-illä) and is used to describe plural nouns in contexts related to production, yield, or efficiency. As a result, tuottavilla is not a standalone concept but a word-form used within sentences to indicate the productive nature of entities or contexts.

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify, and the adessive case -lla/-illä can express location, means, or relation. Therefore tuottavilla aloilla means “in productive sectors” or “in sectors that are productive.” Likewise, tuottavilla yrityksillä can be translated as “with productive companies” or “by productive companies.” The form is common in economic, business, and policy language when discussing performance, innovation, or growth linked to productivity.

Usage and examples:

- Investoinnit tuottavilla aloilla ovat kasvussa. (Investments in productive sectors are growing.)

- Tuottavilla yrityksillä on kilpailuetu verrattuna vähemmän tuottaviin toimijoihin. (Productive companies have a competitive edge over less productive actors.)

- Keskustelu keskittyy tuottavilla voimavaroilla saavutettavaan kasvuun. (The discussion focuses on growth achievable with productive resources.)

Etymology and relation to other forms: tuottavilla derives from tuottava (productive) plus the adessive plural suffix -lla/-illä. It parallels other adjectives in Finnish that take the same inflection to describe plurality in a location- or means-related sense. The form is standard Finnish grammar and does not denote a separate concept beyond its grammatical function.
