maksettaviin

Maksettaviin is a Finnish adjective form derived from maksettava, meaning "to be paid" or "payable." It is used to describe multiple items that are due for payment, and it typically accompanies nouns in plural form. The word signals that the referenced items still require settlement by the payer.

In practice, maksettaviin is common in accounting, budgeting and contractual language. It is used with nouns such as erät, laskut, velat or kulut to indicate obligations that are payable. For example, maksettaviin laskuihin viitataan usein budjetissa, eli varat on suunniteltu niiden maksamiseen, and maksettaviin velkoihin liittyy eräpäivät and mahdolliset korot.

Because maksettaviin denotes plural payables, it appears in contexts where financial obligations are itemized. Typical phrases include maksettaviin eriin kuuluvat velat ja laskut, maksettaviin laskuihin varautuminen, and tilinpäätöksessä eritellään maksettavat erät maksettaviin velkoihin sekä muihin sitoumuksiin. Toisaalta yleisempi vaihtoehto on käyttämällä maksettavat velat tai maksettavat laskut, especially in everyday language; maksettaviin tends to appear more in official, juridical or accounting text.

Etymology and grammar: maksettaviin is an inflected form of maksettava that contracts with plural nouns and specific case endings in Finnish grammar. The form is part of standard Finnish and is understood by speakers across contexts, though its use may be more frequent in formal writing than in casual speech.
