Vastaanotettavina

Vastaanotettavina is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb vastaanottaa, meaning to receive. It is the plural essive form of the present passive participle vastaanotettava, and it functions as a noun-like expression indicating items, persons, or concepts that are to be received or accepted. In essence, vastaanotettavina marks a group in a state of being designated for reception.

Usage-wise, vastaanotettavina is typically found in formal, administrative, or logistical contexts such as inventories, procurement documents, or official lists. It signals that the items or entities specified are intended to be received, accepted, or taken in. The form emphasizes future-oriented reception within a described set, rather than a current act of receiving.

Morphologically, vastaanotettavina demonstrates how Finnish uses participial stems combined with case-like endings to create nouns or noun-like phrases. The base is vastaanotettava (to be received), with the -na/-nä essive suffix serving to express “as being” or “in the state of.” The plural ending -vina/ -vina reflects the reference to more than one item in that stated state.

Related forms include vastaanottaa (to receive) and vastaaotettava (singular form of to-be-received). In everyday Finnish, the exact form vastaanotettavina appears primarily in written, formal language rather than casual speech.
