analysoitava

Analysoitava is a Finnish word formed from the verb analysoida, meaning to analyze. It is a non-finite attributive form used to describe nouns in terms of future analysis or examination. In practice, analysoitava conveys the sense of “to be analyzed” or “to-be-analyzed,” and it is common in academic, technical, and instructional language.

Morphology and usage: Analysoitava functions as an adjective-like participial form that agrees with the noun it modifies. It can be used in both singular and plural phrases, with inflected cases matching the noun. Typical examples include analysoitava aineisto (data to be analyzed) and analysoitavat näytteet (samples to be analyzed). The form often appears in research designs, data labeling, project plans, and methodological sections to indicate items that will undergo analysis.

Relationship to related forms: Analysoiva denotes the ongoing action of analyzing (the analyst or the act of analyzing), while analysoitu denotes something that has already been analyzed (past participle). The analysoitava form thus fills a distinct role in Finnish by marking upcoming or required analysis rather than current action or completed analysis.

Notes: Because it is a non-finite form, analysoitava is not a finite verb and does not by itself indicate tense or subject. Its primary function is to modify a noun and to clarify the status of the object as destined for analysis. This usage is especially prevalent in formal writing where clear specification of tasks, data, or samples is needed.
