mitattavissa

Mitattavissa is a Finnish adjective meaning capable of being measured or measurable. It is formed from the verb mitata (to measure) with the derivational suffix -ttavissa, which signals potential or capability, and is used to describe something that can be quantified or expressed numerically. In practice, mitattavissa is common in contexts such as data quality, performance assessment, and planning. It often appears in phrases like mitattavissa oleva data (data that can be measured) or mitattavissa tavoitteet (measurable goals).

The related noun is mitattavuus (measurability). Related forms include mitattava (measurable) and mitattavasti (measurably). Usage notes: the term does not imply that a measurement is easy or precise, only that a method exists to quantify it. In research and management, establishing that a variable is mitattavissa is a prerequisite for quantitative analysis and for comparing results over time or between groups. In Finnish, the concept of measurability is central when setting objectives or reporting results, as stakeholders typically require mitattavien tulosten (measurable results) to judge progress.
