The Finnish word "liitettävänä" is a passive present participle of the verb "liittää," which means "to attach," "to connect," or "to join." In its "liitettävänä" form, it functions as an adjective or adverb and describes something that is in the state of being attached, connectable, or joinable.

When used as an adjective, "liitettävänä" modifies a noun to indicate that the noun is something that can be or is currently attached to something else. For example, "liitettävänä oleva laite" translates to "a device that is to be attached" or "a device that is attachable." It implies a potential or ongoing action of attachment.

The grammatical form of "liitettävänä" also indicates that the action of attaching is being done to the subject, rather than the subject performing the action. This passive voice is crucial to understanding its meaning. It is often used in contexts where the focus is on the object being connected or the process of connection itself, rather than the agent performing the attachment.
