Vähennettävän

Vähennettävän is a Finnish word that translates to "to be reduced" or "deductible" in English. It is a form of the verb vähentää, which means "to reduce" or "to deduct." The word is commonly used in various contexts, including financial, mathematical, and general everyday language.

In finance, vähennettävän refers to a deductible amount, such as in insurance policies or taxes. For example, a car insurance policy might have a vähennettävän amount that the policyholder must pay before the insurance company covers the rest of the damages. Similarly, in taxation, certain expenses can be vähennettävän from taxable income.

In mathematics, vähennettävän is used in the context of subtraction. When one number is subtracted from another, the number being subtracted from is called the vähennettävän. For instance, in the equation 10 - 3 = 7, 10 is the vähennettävän.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe anything that is subject to reduction or decrease. This could apply to quantities, amounts, or even abstract concepts. The grammatical form indicates that the subject is passive, meaning it is the recipient of the action of reduction. Understanding the context is key to interpreting the precise meaning of vähennettävän.
