laskutettavista

Laskutettavista is the elative plural form of the Finnish adjective laskutettava, meaning billable or chargeable. The term is used to refer to items, tasks, or costs that originate from or can be invoiced to a client. As a grammatical form, it indicates origin or source in a context where multiple billable elements are being considered.

In practical use, laskutettavista appears primarily in business, invoicing, and contract language. It helps distinguish the subset of work or costs that are eligible for billing from those that are not. The elative case expresses “from” or “out of” the billable items, which is common in reports, cost breakdowns, and project documentation.

Etymology and grammar: laskutettava is a compound derived from laskuttaa (to invoice) with the suffix -ttava denoting “able to be.” The elative plural suffix -ista/-istä yields laskutettavista, used with plural nouns in the elative case to indicate origin: “from the billable items.”

Examples:

- Raportissa käsitellään laskutettavista töistä syntyneet kustannukset. (The report covers costs arising from the billable tasks.)

- Laskutettavista eristä koostuva lista toimitettiin asiakkaalle. (A list consisting of billable items was delivered to the customer.)
