eikäytettäväksi

Eikäytettäväksi is a Finnish word that translates to "for use" or "to be used" in English. It is a grammatical form, specifically the illative plural of the noun "käyttö," which means "use" or "usage." The illative case in Finnish indicates motion into or towards a place, or in a more abstract sense, the purpose or intended recipient of an action. Therefore, "eikäytettäväksi" signifies something intended for the purpose of being used.

This word is commonly encountered in contexts where a resource, item, or information is being made available for a specific application or function. For example, it might appear in instructions, product descriptions, or legal documents to clarify the intended purpose of something. It emphasizes that the object or concept is not merely present but is meant to be actively employed. The "ei-" prefix can sometimes imply a negation, but in this specific construction, it functions as a part of the word formation that denotes the future passive participle of the verb "käyttää" (to use), in the illative plural. Thus, it conveys the idea of "things that are to be used" or "for the purpose of being used." Understanding this grammatical structure helps in comprehending the nuances of Finnish language, particularly in specifying the intended application of various elements.
