pyydettävät

Pyydettävät is a Finnish word formed from the verb pyytää (to request or ask) with the participial suffix -ttava, used as an adjective meaning “to be requested” or “that must be requested.” In everyday and formal Finnish it describes items, information, or actions that are intended to be obtained through a request or inquiry. The plural form pyydettävät is used when the noun it modifies is plural.

The term is common in bureaucratic, administrative, and legal language. It appears on forms, checklists, and guidelines to label elements that are expected to be supplied by a person or organization. For example, pyydettävät asiakirjat means documents that should be provided upon request, and pyydettävät tiedot means information that will be requested. The nuance can range from voluntary requests to mandatory requirements depending on the context.

Morphology and usage notes: pyydettävä is the singular form meaning “to be requested,” and pyydettävät is the plural attribute used with a following noun. The phrase often appears in instruction sets and procedural texts to indicate what respondents must prepare or provide. In some contexts, the sense of obligation is implied by the procedural language rather than by the word itself; readers interpret it from the surrounding instructions.

Related forms include pyydetyt (the requested items, a past participle form) and pyytäminen (the act of requesting). Pyydettävät stands as a concise, formal label for components of processes where information or documents are collected by making a request.
