Vedettävissä

Vedettävissä is a Finnish word used to describe objects that can be pulled or towed. It functions as an adjective meaning “towable” or “pullable” and is typically found in technical or descriptive contexts, such as vehicle specifications, transport logistics, and equipment manuals.

Grammatically, vedettävissä is the inessive form of the participle vedettävä, which means “to be pulled.” The common pattern -ttavissa forms adjectives describing capability (for example, ajettavissa meaning “drivable”). The expression vedettävissä oleva [noun] means “a noun that can be towed,” and vedettävissä is often used predicatively, as in “Laite on vedettävissä” (“The device is towable”).

Examples in Finnish include vedettävissä oleva ajoneuvo (a towable vehicle) and vedettävissä oleva kuorma (a pullable load). The term is not everyday language; it appears most often in manuals, catalogs, and technical descriptions where towability or pullability must be specified.

Origin and related forms: It derives from vetää (“to pull”) with the participial suffix -ttävä and the inessive suffix -ssä, forming vedettävissä as a standard formation comparable to ajettavissa (“drivable”).
