klikattavissa

Klikattavissa is a Finnish term used in information technology to describe elements on a digital interface that can be activated by clicking or tapping. In practice, something klikattavissa is interactive, such as hyperlinks, buttons, icons that perform actions, or tiles that navigate to another view. The term appears in Finnish UI/UX documentation, developer guides, and accessibility checklists to indicate that an element is intended to respond to user input.

Etymology and form: the word is derived from the verb klikata (to click) with the suffix -ttava, which yields klikattava meaning “able to be clicked.” The suffix -issa marks a state or condition, giving klikattavissa to express “in a clickable state” or simply “clickable.” The related noun klikattavuus denotes clickability, i.e., the degree to which elements are designed to be clicked.

Usage and design considerations: in user interface design, labeling something klikattavissa communicates that a user can interact with it through a click or touch. Designers typically ensure klikattavissa elements have clear visual affordances, distinct styling, and accessible labels. They should be operable with a keyboard and screen readers, and not rely solely on color to convey interactivity. When an element is temporarily non-interactive, it may be described as not klikattavissa or shown in a disabled state.
