kirjoitettaviksi

Kirjoitettaviksi is a Finnish non-finite verb form built from the verb kirjoittaa (to write). It is the translative form of the passive participle kirjoitettava and is used to express that something is to be written or to be written into a certain state or form. The construction is common in formal, administrative, or planned-text contexts where a process or result is described as something that will or should occur.

Morphologically, kirjoitettaviksi combines the stem of the passive participle with the translative ending -iksi (or -ksi in singular contexts). The form kuona resembles a plural translative, and it typically appears with a plural subject in a sentence, for example in predicate constructions with a copula. In practice, the form marks a change of state: the items referred to are to be written or prepared in written form.

Usage-wise, kirjoitettaviksi is not a standalone finite verb; it functions as a non-finite participial form that modifies or complements a main clause, often indicating a planned, scheduled, or required outcome. It is especially common in legal, procedural, or instructional language where documents, reports, or forms are described in terms of their intended written state.
