Vaadittava

Vaadittava is a Finnish adjective and present passive participle derived from the verb vaatia, meaning to demand. It denotes that something is required or demanded, typically by a law, rule, policy, or authority. The form is commonly used to describe prerequisites, conditions, or information that must be provided.

Usage: In formal or legal language, vaadittava modifies a noun and agrees in number and case. Examples: vaadittava tieto (required information), vaadittavat tiedot (the information that is required), vaadittava todistus (required document). It is common in contexts such as procurement, employment, education, and administrative procedures.

Relation and related forms: The corresponding past participle is vaadittu (was required). Related nouns include vaatimus (requirement) and vaatimukset (requirements). The term is often used alongside other request- or prerequisite-related terms; edellytys (prerequisite) and edellyttää (to require) express related ideas, though vaadittava emphasizes the requirement itself rather than the act of requiring.

Notes: The use of vaadittava can vary by style and context; in everyday Finnish, variations such as vaadittu or vaadittavat tiedot may be preferred depending on nuance and grammatical construction.
