Vaadittavasta

Vaadittavasta is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective vaadittava, meaning “to be demanded” or “required.” It is used to describe a noun in phrases where something is required by rules, contracts, or procedures. The adjective vaadittava belongs to the derivation pattern -ttava/-ttävä and declines like other Finnish adjectives. The elative singular vaadittavasta typically conveys a sense of origin or source, translating roughly as “from the required …” and is often found in formal or administrative text.

In practice, vaadittavasta appears in phrases that indicate documentation or other items that are required. It is a grammatical form rather than a separate lexical item, and it combines with a following noun in the appropriate case to express, for example, “from the required certificate” or “the required certificate” in different contexts. Common contexts include legal, regulatory, and bureaucratic language where obligations or prerequisites are described.

Examples:

- Hakemukseen on liitettävä vaadittavasta todistuksesta kopio. Translation: A copy of the required certificate must be attached to the application.

- Lain mukaan vaadittavasta todistuksesta on toimitettava kopio. Translation: By law, a copy of the required certificate must be submitted.

Related forms include vaadittava (nominative), vaadittavan (genitive), vaadittavaa (partitive), vaadittavassa (inessive), and vaadittavasta (elative). The term is primarily a grammatical form used to express obligation and requirements in Finnish, rather than a distinct concept with its own standalone definition.
