Varastoitavien

Varastoitavien is a Finnish inflected form used in linguistic and practical contexts to refer to items that are to be stored. It arises from the participle adjective varastoitava, derived from the verb varastoida, meaning to store. In use, varastoitavien functions as a genitive plural form of the adjective, signaling that the specified nouns are “to be stored” or “storables.”

Morphology and meaning. The base concept varastoitava describes something that should be stored or is designed to be stored. When paired with a plural noun in genitive, the form becomes varastoitavien, as in varastoitavien tuotteiden, meaning “of the items to be stored.” This construction is common in technical, logistical, and administrative Finnish, where precise qualification of items in processes such as warehousing, inventory, or archival management is required.

Usage. Varastoitavien is typically found in formal or technical prose. It contrasts with varastoitavat (the nominative plural, meaning “the storables” or “the items to be stored”) and with other related forms like varastointi (storage) or varastoitava (to be stored). The genitive plural form varastoitavien is used to link the category to another noun, as in varastoitavien tuotteiden määrä (the amount of products to be stored) or varastoitavien aineiden turvallisuusohjeet (safety instructions for the stored substances).

Example sentences:

- Varastoitavien tuotteiden määrä on kasvussa.

- Varastoitavien tuotteiden säilytysolosuhteet on määritelty ohjeistossa.
