hankittavasta

Hankittavasta is a Finnish linguistic form used to describe something that is to be procured. It is the elative singular form of the present active participle hankittava, which means “to be acquired” or “procureable.” The form is common in formal or technical language, especially in contexts related to procurement, budgeting, and planning.

Usage notes:

- Hankittavasta functions as an adjective-like descriptor that agrees with a noun in case, number, and gender. It is often paired with a noun in the elative case, for example hankittavasta tavarasta or hankittavasta ohjelmistosta, meaning “of/from the item/software to be procured.”

- It conveys intention or requirement—something is identified as needing to be acquired rather than already possessed.
