kokoontaitettavien

Kokoontaitettavien is a Finnish grammatical form that serves as the genitive plural of the adjective kokoontaitettava, meaning foldable or collapsible. It appears in noun phrases describing items or structures that can be folded, and it accompanies a noun in the genitive case.

Etymology and form: The base adjective kokoontaitettava is built from the verb stem kokoontaittaa (to fold together) plus the participial suffix -ttava, which yields “able to be folded.” In the genitive plural, adjectives take the ending -ien, producing kokoontaitettavien. Thus the form functions to describe multiple foldable items when the noun they modify is in genitive.

Usage: Kokoontaitettavien is not a stand-alone noun; it is an attributive modifier in genitive phrases. It is common in technical writing, catalogs, and inventory lists where the properties of multiple items are specified. Examples include descriptions such as koke koho kokoontaitettavien esineiden säilytys (storage of foldable items) or suunnitelmia kokoontaitettavien kalusteiden kuljetukseen (plans for transporting foldable furniture).

Examples:

- Kokoontaitettavien esineiden varastointi on järjestettävä siten, että tilaa käytetään tehokkaasti.

- Myynti- ja varastosiluetteloon lisättiin osa kokoontaitettavien kalusteiden käsikirjoja.
