Tutustuttava

Tutustuttava is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb tutustuttaa, meaning to introduce or to acquaint someone with something. It is the present passive participle, formed with the suffix -ttava, and functions as an adjective that describes something intended to be introduced or made familiar to someone. In practice, tutustuttava is used primarily in formal, planning, or linguistic texts to indicate an object, process, or material that is to be presented to someone for the purpose of acquaintance.

The term is closely related to tutustuttaa (to cause someone to become acquainted) and to tutustuminen (the act of becoming acquainted). The target of introduction may be specified with other grammatical elements, and phrases such as tutustuttava sisältö or tutustuttava prosessi illustrate the idea of content or a process that is to be introduced.

Usage notes: Tutustuttava is relatively rare in everyday speech; more common constructions use the active verb tutustuttaa or the noun tutustuttaminen (the act of introducing) or tutustuminen (the act of becoming acquainted). The choice between tutustuttava and these more common forms depends on the desired level of formality and the need for a descriptive, technical tone.
