maksettavista

Maksettavista is a Finnish linguistic form, specifically the elative plural form of the present passive participle maksettava, meaning “to be paid” or “payable.” The base form maksettava is used to describe something that must be paid, and it forms various inflected forms to indicate case and number. Maksettavista therefore appears in contexts where the speaker refers to multiple payables in a source or from a set of items.

In Finnish, the present passive participle maksettava functions like an adjective, but its inflected forms carry grammatical case and number. Common related forms include maksettava (singular nominative), maksettavat (plural nominative), maksettavaksi (illative/infinitive-like use), and maksettavista (elative plural). Maksettavista is most often encountered in formal or technical language, such as accounting, finance, or contract language, where it describes the source or portion of obligations that are to be paid, often in phrases modifying nouns like veloista, laskuista, tai eristä.

Usage and sense: maksettavista is used to indicate that the referenced items are those that remain to be paid or are required to be paid. It commonly appears in statements about payables, costs, fees, or debts within financial documents and legal texts. For example, maksettavista veloista voi johtua merkittäviä menoja, meaning “payables may give rise to significant expenses.” In everyday Finnish, speakers might opt for maksettavat or other simpler constructions, while maksettavista remains a hallmark of more formal, technical prose.
