Täytettävään

Täytettävään is a Finnish word that translates to "to be filled" or "fillable" in English. It is a passive present participle of the verb "täyttää," which means "to fill." The word is used to describe something that has the capacity or purpose to be filled with something else.

For example, a container such as a bottle, box, or bag could be described as täytettävään if it is designed to hold contents. Similarly, a form or document that requires information to be entered is täytettävään. The concept can also be applied more abstractly, such as a gap or a space that needs to be filled, or a role that requires a person to fill it.

The grammatical form "täytettävään" specifically indicates a dative case, suggesting motion towards or purpose related to the act of filling. It is often used in sentences where the focus is on the object that is to be filled or the destination of the filling action. For instance, "paketti on täytettävään" means "the package is to be filled." Understanding this grammatical nuance helps in correctly interpreting its usage in Finnish sentences. The word's versatility allows it to be used in both concrete and figurative contexts, always implying the potential or necessity of being filled.
