päästettavan

Päästettävän is a Finnish word that translates to "rescued" or "saved" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "pelastaa," which means "to rescue" or "to save." The word can be used to describe a person, animal, or object that has been brought out of danger or a difficult situation.

For example, one might say "koira oli päästettävän" which means "the dog was rescued." This could refer to a dog that was pulled from a burning building, a body of water, or any other hazardous environment. Similarly, "ihminen oli päästettävän" would mean "the person was saved," implying they were in a life-threatening situation and were subsequently rescued.

The term "päästettävän" can also be used in a more metaphorical sense. It might refer to a situation that was averted from a negative outcome, or a piece of information that was preserved. For instance, if a crucial document was almost lost but was found in time, it could be described as "asiakirja oli päästettävän."

The grammatical form "päästettävän" is the genitive case of the past passive participle "päästettävä." This means it is often used in contexts where possession or a relationship to something being rescued is implied, or when it acts as an adjective modifying a noun in the genitive case. Understanding the nuances of Finnish grammar is important for fully grasping the usage of such words.
