katseltavan

Katseltavan is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective katseltava, meaning "watchable" or "viewable." The adjective is formed with the suffix -tava, which expresses capability or potential and is derived from the verb katsoa, "to look." In Finnish, katseltava describes something that can be watched, such as a film, program, or other media content.

Katseltavan is used when the noun it modifies is in the genitive or part of a genitive noun phrase. For example: "katseltavan elokuvan trailer" (the trailer of the watchable movie) and "katseltavan sarjan arvostelu" (the review of the watchable series). The corresponding nominative form is katseltava, which is used when the noun is in the nominative position.

In practice, katseltava and its inflected forms appear primarily in written Finnish, especially in descriptive, technical, or media-related contexts. The concept aligns with the noun katseltavuus, which denotes watchability, or the quality of being suitable for viewing.
