huomittavaa

Huomittavaa is a Finnish adjective form meaning that something is noteworthy or worth noting. It is used to indicate that a point, fact, or detail should be paid attention to. The form is derived from the verb huomioida, which means to notice or to take into account, and it functions as a property descriptor for things that deserve attention.

Grammatically, huomittavaa appears as part of the verb-adjective family formed with the -ttava/-ttävä suffix, which signals that the thing described is "to be noticed." In practice it is most often encountered in impersonal or formal constructions, especially in written Finnish. A typical usage pattern is to introduce a point with a clause like “On huomittavaa, että …” or to express that a detail is noteworthy in noun phrases such as “huomittavaa seikkaa” or “huomittavaa arvoa.” The exact inflection can vary with case and syntactic role, but the sense remains: the listener or reader should take note of the mentioned issue.

Usage and register: huomittavaa is common in academic, technical, and journalistic Finnish, where precision and explicit emphasis are desired. It serves as a concise way to flag important considerations without lengthy explanations. Synonyms or near-equivalents in English include “noteworthy,” “to be noted,” or “worth noting,” while Finnish alternatives include huomioitavaa or huomioitava depending on the nuance and formality.
