Yhdistettäväksi

Yhdistettäväksi is a Finnish word-form derived from the verb yhdistää, meaning to combine or merge. It is formed from the present participle stem yhdistettävä and the translative suffix -ksi, which marks a destination, result, or state. The overall meaning is “to be combined into” or “to be merged with.” This form is commonly used in formal, technical, and legal writing to describe intended outcomes or required actions in integration or consolidation processes.

Morphology and usage context: The form combines a verb-derived participle with the translative case to indicate that something is meant to undergo a merging or joining process and assume a new state or destination. It tends to appear in contexts where procedures, specifications, or planning documents specify how components, datasets, systems, or subsystems should be integrated. It is less frequent in everyday speech and more common in written guidelines or contractual language.

Typical construction patterns include phrases like on suunniteltu yhdistettäväksi toiseen järjestelmään (is designed to be merged with another system) or tiedot on yhdistettäväksi tietokantaan (the data should be merged into the database). In these examples, yhdistettäväksi functions as an adjectival or predicative complement that states the intended result of an action.

Related forms and terms include yhdistää (to combine), yhdistäminen (merging or combining as a process), and the root translatiivi suffix -ksi, which signals destination or state change in many Finnish constructions.
