korjaettaviksi

Korjaettaviksi is a Finnish word that translates to "to be repaired" or "for repair." It is most commonly used in contexts where something is broken, damaged, or in need of fixing. This can apply to a wide range of items, from physical objects to more abstract concepts.

When referring to physical objects, korjaettaviksi indicates that an item is currently not in working order and requires attention from a repair person or a DIY enthusiast. Examples include a malfunctioning appliance, a damaged piece of furniture, or a vehicle in need of maintenance. A sign stating "korjaettaviksi" on an object clearly communicates its status.

Beyond tangible items, the term can also be used metaphorically. For instance, a process, a system, or even a relationship might be described as korjaettaviksi if it is not functioning as intended and needs improvement or correction. In such cases, it implies a recognition of a problem and an intention to address it.

The word itself is derived from the Finnish verb "korjata," which means "to repair" or "to fix." The suffix "-ttaviksi" indicates a passive, future-oriented action, suggesting that the repair is either ongoing or planned for the future. Therefore, "korjaettaviksi" encapsulates the idea of something being in a state where repair is necessary or will be undertaken.
