saatavaksi

Saatavaksi is a Finnish predicative participle form derived from the verb saada, meaning to obtain. The suffix -tavaksi forms a construction that signifies something is to be made obtainable or to be available for someone or for a market. In practice, saatavaksi is used primarily in formal, administrative, or business contexts to indicate that products, services, or information will be made accessible, usually in the future or to a specific audience. The form functions as a predicative complement in sentences and can combine with helping verbs such as tulevat (will be) or asetetaan (will be made available).

Usage notes: Saatavaksi is distinct from saatavilla, which means “available now” or “in stock.” Saatavaksi emphasizes prospective or planned availability rather than current presence. It is most common in written language, such as announcements, procurement documents, contract language, and press releases, rather than casual speech.

Etymology and related terms: Saatavaksi is built from the verb saada with the predicative suffix -tavaksi. Related Finnish terms include saatavuus (availability) and saatavilla (available). The form is part of a broader set of -ttavaksi constructions used to express future or intended states of accessibility.

Examples: Tuotteet tulevat saatavaksi ensi kuussa. Uudet ohjelmistopäivitykset tulevat saatavaksi pian. These illustrate how the term signals forthcoming access for customers or users.
