perittävään

Perittävään is a grammatical form in Finnish. It is the illative singular form of the participial adjective perittävä, which means “to be collected,” “to be charged,” or more generally “due.” The base verb is peritä, meaning to collect or demand, and the -ttävä suffix forms a present participle/adjective that yields perittävä when describing something that is due to be collected. The illative case signals direction toward or into something in Finnish grammar, so perittävään appears in contexts where the illative sense is used with nouns to indicate the target or object of a process such as debt collection or charging.

Usage and examples: In legal, financial, or accounting style texts, you may encounter phrases like perittävään velkaan liittyvät korot (interest related to the debt to be collected) or perittävään maksuun liittyvät ehdot (terms relating to the charge to be collected). The form is primarily a grammatical inflection and is not typically used in everyday speech; in ordinary language speakers tend to use simpler or more common noun phrases such as perittävä velka (a debt to be collected) or velan periminen (the collection of a debt).

Notes: The term perittävään is not a common standalone lexical entry; it is a form produced by applying the illative to the adjective perittävä.
