kontrolloituva

Kontrolloituva is a Finnish adjective formed from the verb kontrolloida (to control) with the participial suffix -tuva. The resulting form conveys a sense of ongoing potential or a state that is in the process of becoming controllable. In practice, kontrolloituva describes something that may come under control or is susceptible to regulation over time, rather than something that is already fully controllable.

The word is used primarily in technical, scientific, or policy contexts where processes, systems, or phenomena are discussed in terms of how they can be managed or brought under control. It emphasizes a dynamic or developmental aspect of control, as opposed to the more static idea of being controllable at a given moment.

In everyday Finnish, kontrolloituva is relatively rare. When speakers need to express the idea of controllability, they more often use kontrolloitava (to be able to be controlled) or kontrolloitavissa (able to be controlled). These forms specifically denote the ability or possibility of control in present or general terms, while kontrolloituva foregrounds change toward controllability.

Etymology: kontrolloituva is derived from kontrolloida with the participial suffix -tuva, creating a descriptive form related to the process or potential state of control. Related forms include kontrolloida (to control), kontrolloitava (controllable), and kontrolloitavissa (able to be controlled).
