opetettavissa

Opetettavissa is a Finnish adjective derived from the verb opettaa, meaning to teach. The term describes something that can be taught or is capable of being taught. It is used to discuss the teachability of content, methods, or learners, and can refer to curricula, materials, or situations that are conducive to instruction. In use, it signals that appropriate teaching practices can enable learning effectively.

Morphology and usage: opetettava forms the core meaning “to be taught” or “teachable,” and the suffix -ttavissa adds a sense of potential or capability, with the inessive -ssa giving a state or condition. Thus opetettavissa encodes “teachable” in the sense of existing in a teachable state or being capable of being taught. The form is common in educational or academic contexts when evaluating whether topics or materials are suitable for instruction.

Related forms and terminology: the noun opetettavuus denotes teachability or the quality of being teachable. The expression opetettavissa oleva materiaali means “teachable material,” describing content that can be effectively instructed. Opposite notions might be described with terms referring to unteachability or difficulty in instruction, depending on context.

Examples and contexts: it can describe instructional materials that are appropriate for a certain learning level, teaching methods that align with learners’ readiness, or conditions under which students can learn a given topic. The word is standard in pedagogical discussions and academic writing in Finnish.
