korvaavissa

Korvaavissa is a Finnish participial adjective derived from the verb korvata, meaning to compensate or replace. The form functions as a present active participle and is used to describe something that provides compensation or is substitutable. In practice, korvaavissa appears in legal, financial and everyday language to indicate compensability or replaceability of costs, losses, or components.

Usage and examples

In insurance and law, korvaavissa often describes damages or expenses that can be covered or reimbursed by a policy or regulation. In technical or procurement contexts, it can refer to measures or components that can substitute another item without loss of function. A typical construction might be korvaavissa tilanteissa, meaning “in compensable situations” or “where replacement is possible.” The nuance can lean toward either monetary compensation or functional substitution, depending on context.

Related forms and etymology

Korvaavissa is related to korvaava (compensatory, substitutive) and to korvattava (compensable, replaceable). The word combines korvata’s stem with the participial suffix -ava and the grammatical ending -issa, allowing it to modify nouns across cases. The term is more common in formal Finnish writing, such as policy language or accounting notes, where precise statements about compensation or substitution are needed.
