noudatettavina

Noudatettavina is a Finnish non-finite verbal form derived from the verb noudattaa, meaning to obey or to comply. It is used mainly in formal or legal language to indicate provisions, rules, or instructions that must be observed or followed. The form typically functions as a modifier referring to multiple items, such as rules, guidelines, or terms, that are expected to be complied with.

In usage, noudatettavina marks obligations attached to a set of items rather than actions performed by a subject. It occurs in constructions where the things to be observed are being described or enumerated. Common contexts include contracts, policies, regulations, and official guidelines, where it helps convey that certain provisions are mandatory.

Typical expressions include phrases like noudatettavina olevat ohjeet or noudatettavina olevat ehdot, meaning “the instructions/terms to be observed.” In shorter form, one might encounter sentences such as Sopimuksen ehdot ovat noudatettavina (The terms of the agreement are to be observed) or Käyttöohjeet ovat noudatettavina (The usage instructions are to be followed).

Relation to other forms: noudatettavina is part of a family of forms built from noudattaa that express obligation or compliance. The related forms include noudatettava (to be complied with, singular) or noudattaminen (compliance). In practice, noudatettavina is most common when referring to multiple items or a set of rules rather than a single directive.
