julkaistavaan

Julkaistavaan is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb julkaista, meaning “to publish.” It is the illative singular form of the participial adjective julkaistava, which roughly corresponds to the English “publishable” or “to be published.” The illative case expresses direction or movement toward a state or form, so julkaistavaan conveys “into a publishable form” or “toward publication.”

Morphology and formation

The base is the participial adjective julkaistava (publishable), formed from the verb julkaista plus the participial suffix -va. The illative case suffix -an is then added to yield julkaistavaan. This particular form is used with nouns in illative constructions to indicate the target state or form for publication.

Usage

Julkaistavaan appears primarily in formal, technical, or editing contexts. It is common in guidelines, instructions, or specifications that require materials to be prepared for publication. It often occurs in phrases such as julkaistavaan muotoon (“into a publishable form”) or vastaavasti julkaistavaan versioon (“into a publishable version”).

Examples

- Teksti on muutettava julkaistavaan muotoon ennen lähetystä kustantajalle. (The text must be changed into a publishable form before submission to the publisher.)

- Tämä raportti tulisi toimittaa julkaistavaan muotoon ennen julkistamista. (This report should be delivered in a publishable form before publication.)

Notes

Julkaistavaan is the illative singular; other forms of julkaistava exist for different cases and numbers, and the related base julkaistava remains a common descriptor meaning “publishable.” Related concepts include illative case, participial adjectives, and the verb julkaista.
