Viestittävä

Viestittävä is a Finnish term derived from the verb viestiä (to convey, to communicate). It functions primarily as a present-active participle form with the suffix -ttävä and is used to indicate content or information that is intended to be transmitted or conveyed. In practice, viestittävä describes what is to be communicated, rather than who is communicating it.

The word can operate as an adjective modifying a noun, often in formal or technical contexts. Common expressions include viestitettävä asia (the matter to be communicated), viestitettävä sanoma (the message to be conveyed), and viestitettävä tieto (the information to be transmitted). Because it signals intent or necessity, viestittävä is typically found in planning, documentation, journalism, and administrative language rather than in casual speech.

Etymologically, viestittävä is formed from the verb viestiä plus the participial suffix -ttävä, which yields a meaning akin to “that which is to be communicated.” It is related to other Finnish forms that express obligation or forthcoming action, such as lähetettävä (to be sent) or toimitettava (to be delivered), though those are used with different nuances and contexts.

In summary, viestittävä denotes content intended for transmission or communication and is mainly used in formal Finn­ish to describe the substance that must be conveyed to an audience or recipient.
