jaettaviksi

Jaettaviksi is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb jakaa, meaning to divide or to distribute. It is the translative plural form of the present passive participle jaettava, and it functions as an adjective or predicative form to indicate that something is intended to be distributed to multiple recipients or is to be distributed. The form is common in administrative, logistical, and legal language, especially in notices, guidelines, and instructions that concern more than one recipient.

Usage and context: Jaettaviksi is used with plural nouns or noun phrases and with verbs that convey a future or planned distribution, such as olla (to be), toimitetaan (will be delivered), or tarkoitettu (intended). The plural aspect reflects distribution to several recipients or groups. In contrast, jaettavaksi (singular translative) or jaettava (present passive participle, singular) are used when the reference is singular or more general. Typical collocations include jaettaviksi tarkoitetut esitteet (brochures intended to be distributed) and tiedotteet ovat jaettaviksi oppilaille (the notices are to be distributed to students).

Examples:

- Kaikki jaettaviksi tarkoitetut esitteet toimitetaan tapahtumapaikalle.

- Nämä tiedotteet ovat jaettaviksi oppilaille.

- Materiaalit pyritään jakamaan jaettaviksi useille vastaanottajille.

Notes: jaettaviksi carries a formal, administrative tone and is mainly encountered in written policy, procedural texts, and official communications. It should be distinguished from the singular forms jaettava and jaettavaksi, which address distribution in different quantities or contexts. See also jaka a, jaettava, jaettavaksi.
