julkaistavaksi

Julkaistavaksi is a Finnish grammatical form used to indicate that something is intended for publication or is to be published. It is derived from the verb julkaista (to publish) and combines a participial stem with the translative suffix -ksi, yielding a sense of “for publication” or “to be published.”

Morphology and formation: The form is built from the verb julkaista with the -ttava participle, producing julkaistava, and then the translative suffix -ksi to form julkaistavaksi. It is commonly used to express future or intended state, particularly in editorial, publishing, and project-planning contexts. It frequently appears in noun phrases such as julkaistavaksi tarkoitetut aineistot, meaning materials intended for publication.

Usage: Julkaistavaksi is typically used to describe things that are planned or prepared for release. For example, it can appear in editorial notes, production instructions, or summaries of publishing workflows. In sentences, it conveys that the item is not yet published but is designated to be published, as in contexts like manuscripts, articles, or reports that are “to be published.”

Relation to other forms: The related forms include julkaistu (published) and julkaistava (publishable). The English equivalents range from “to be published” to “for publication.” The choice between julkaistavaksi and other forms depends on whether the emphasis is on the intended publication state (for publication) or on publication as a completed result (published).

Notes: As with many Finnish participial constructions, julkaistavaksi is primarily a formal, editorial, or technical usage. In everyday language, speakers may prefer simpler expressions such as “julkaistava” (publishable) or restructure sentences to use other verb forms.
