haihduttavaa

Haihduttava is a Finnish present active participle form of the verb haihduttaa, meaning to evaporate or vaporize. The form haihduttavaa is the partitive singular used when the participle modifies a noun in the partitive case. In English this can be conveyed as evaporating or evaporative.

The term is used in scientific and technical language to describe processes, substances, or surfaces involved in evaporation. For example, haihduttava neste refers to an evaporating liquid, and haihduttavaa vettä can denote water that is in the act of evaporating. The related noun haihdutus refers to the evaporation process itself, while the verb haihduttaa means to cause evaporation.

In Finnish grammar, haihduttava functions as an adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies. Examples include haihduttava aine (an evaporating substance) or haihduttavan aineen ominaisuudet (the properties of the evaporating substance). The participle also inflects in other cases, such as haihduttavan (genitive) or haihduttavasta (partitive/genitive combinations), depending on the sentence.
