rekisteröitävien

Rekisteröitävien is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb rekisteröidä, meaning to register. It is the genitive plural form of the present passive participle rekisteröitävä, which describes something or someone that is to be registered or that is registrable. In practice, rekisteröitävien functions as a noun-like modifier used in phrases such as "rekisteröitävien henkilöiden lista" (the list of persons to be registered) or "rekisteröitävien kohteiden määrä" (the number of items to be registered).

Usage and context

The form appears mainly in formal, administrative, or legal texts where it is necessary to specify entities subject to registration. It is commonly paired with a following noun in genitive to indicate possession or association with the registrable items (for example, "rekisteröitävien tietojen käsittely" = processing of the data of those to be registered). The term helps distinguish between registered and non-registered groups within procedures, registries, or regulatory requirements.

Grammatical notes

Rekisteröitävä is the base present passive participle meaning "to be registered" or "registrable." The genitive plural suffix -ien attaches to form rekisteröitävien, which then modifies or links to another noun in the genitive (rekisteröitävien henkilöt, rekisteröitävien tietojen, etc.). The construction is characteristic of Finnish administrative language and tends to appear in written, formal contexts rather than casual speech.
