Varattava

Varattava is a Finnish adjective derived from the verb varata, meaning "to reserve." It functions as a present passive participle used attributively to describe something that can be reserved or booked. In practice, varattava describes resources or time slots that are available for reservation. Common collocations include varattavat ajat (bookable times) and varattavissa oleva tila (a bookable space). In everyday language varattavissa is often used to indicate availability for reservation, as in Tämä pöytä on varattavissa (This table is bookable) or Tämä aika on varattavissa (This time is bookable). The word contrasts with varattu (reserved) and with phrases indicating that something is not available for reservation.

The term is widely used in service industries, hospitality, events, transportation, and ticketing systems to distinguish items that can be reserved from those that are already taken or not offered at a given time.

Etymology and related forms: varattava is formed from varata + suffix -ttava, a present passive participle. Related terms include varaus (reservation) and varattavuus (reservability). In everyday use, varattava and varattavissa help communicate which resources are open for booking and which are not.
