Vastuunottavassa

Vastuunottavassa is a Finnish word form used to describe someone or something that takes on responsibility. It is the inessive singular form of the present active participle vastuunottava, derived from the concepts vastuu (responsibility) and ottaa (to take). In usage, vastuunottava functions as an adjective or participle and agrees with the noun it modifies, allowing it to appear in various inflectional cases.

In practice, vastuunottavassa denotes an ongoing state or quality of assuming responsibility. It is most common in formal or analytical contexts, such as writings about roles, duties, or leadership. The form can modify a noun directly, for example in phrases like vastuunottavassa asemassa or vastuunottavassa roolissa, meaning “in a position/role that takes on responsibility.” Because Finnish participles behave like adjectives, vastuunottavassa is declined to match the case and number of the noun it describes.

Formation and related forms: vastuunottava is the present active participle, built from vastuu and ottaa with the -va/-vä suffix. Its inflected forms follow standard Finnish participle declension, so other cases would yield vastuunottavassa, vastuunottavassa, vastuunottavasta, and so on, as required by the noun in the sentence.

See also: vastuu, ottaa vastuu, vastuunotto, vastuunkantaja, vastuullisuus.

Note: vastuunottavassa is not a standalone lexical item with a fixed definition beyond “taking on responsibility” in context; it is primarily a grammatical form used to describe the state of assuming responsibility in Finnish text.
