Valmistettava

Valmistettava is a Finnish adjective formed from the verb valmistaa, meaning to manufacture, prepare, or produce. In general usage, it denotes something that is to be manufactured or prepared, i.e., something that must be completed or delivered.

Formation and grammatical use: The suffix -ttava creates a participial adjective indicating an action to be performed. Valmistettava typically modifies a noun in attributive position: valmistettava tuote (a product to be manufactured), valmistettava suunnitelma (a plan to be prepared). The form is non-finite and agrees with the noun in number and case.

Grammar and examples: The basic plural form is valmistettavat, and other inflections align with Finnish case and number. In practice, the term is common in procurement, project planning, and production contexts to describe deliverables or tasks that remain to be completed. For example: Valmistettavat tuotteet ohjataan seuraavalle tuotantolinjalle. (The products to be manufactured are directed to the next production line.)

Relation to other terms: Related concepts include valmistus (manufacturing), valmiste (preparation or product), and valmius (readiness). In legal or technical texts, valmistettava helps clarify obligations and schedules by specifying what must still be produced or prepared. Essentially, it communicates a requirement about future work or output in a concise, adjectival form.
