oikaisevaa

Oikaisevaa is a Finnish present active participle form of the verb oikaista, meaning to straighten, correct, or amend. As a participle, oikaisevaa functions as an adjective that describes ongoing or intended corrective action, often modifying a noun in contexts involving policy, regulation, or practical measures.

In morphology, oikaiseva is the base form, and oikaisevaa is used in the partitive singular when the participle modifies a noun that is indefinite or partitive in Finnish grammar. The form changes to agree with genderless, plural, or other cases in longer phrases, just like other adjectives in Finnish. The concept can appear in compounds and noun phrases such as oikaisevaa sääntelyä or oikaisevaa politiikkaa.

It is not a standalone noun but a descriptive modifier that conveys a sense of corrective purpose. The word can appear in official documents, academic writing, journalism, and public discourse when evaluating reforms, adjustments, or remedial measures.
