ohjattavaa

Ohjattavaa is a Finnish word that functions as the partitive form of the adjective ohjattava, meaning steerable or controllable. It is used to describe nouns that can be guided, directed, or controlled. The base verb ohjata means to steer or direct, and the suffix -ttava creates a verbal adjective indicating capability. The final -a/-ä in ohjattavaa marks the partitive case, so the form appears in sentences where the object is in partitive, typically with mass or uncountable quantities.

In typical use, ohjattavaa appears in technical and practical contexts such as engineering, robotics, transportation, and control theory. Examples include phrases like ohjattavaa järjestelmää (a controllable system) or ohjattavaa materiaalia (controllable material). The term is often contrasted with ohjaton, meaning uncontrollable, to denote whether a given object or system can be guided or directed. The related noun ohjattavuus expresses the broader concept of controllability or steerability.

Grammatically, ohjattavaa is not usually used as a standalone noun; rather it forms part of a noun phrase or functions as a modifier within a sentence. Other related forms include ohjattava (dictionary form, nominative) and various inflected forms such as ohjattavan (genitive) or ohjattavaa (partitive). The concept is closely linked to words like ohjaus (control), ohjain (controller), and ohjattavuus (controllability).
