saavutettavassa

Saavutettavassa is the inessive singular form of the Finnish adjective saavutettava, meaning that something can be reached, obtained, or accessed. It describes a state or condition of accessibility or attainability and is used when referring to something located in an accessible form or place, or described as being within reach. Common contexts include digital, physical, and service accessibility, as in phrases like s äivu on saavutettavassa muodossa or palvelu on saavutettavassa tilassa.

Morphology and etymology: Saavutettava is formed from the verb saavuttaa, “to reach or achieve,” plus the participial suffix -tettava, which yields “that can be achieved/ accessed.” The inessive case marker -ssa/-ssä attaches to create saavutettavassa, signaling “in an accessible/reachable state or form.” This inflected form is one of several that the adjective can take to agree with number, case, and definiteness in a sentence.

Usage: The term is widely used in discussions of usability, accessibility, and attainability. It often appears in technical or policy-related texts about how services, information, or environments can be made reachable for diverse users. The related noun sa avuttavuus (accessibility) names the quality or principle itself, while saavuttettava describes the potential or characteristic of being accessible. The adverbial form saavutettavasti exists as well.

Examples:

- Sivu on saavutettavissa ilman tunnistautumista. (The page is accessible without authentication.)

- Palvelu tarjotaan saavutettavassa muodossa, jotta se toimii eri laitteilla. (The service is provided in an accessible/usable form so it works on different devices.)

- Tiedosto on tallennettu saavutettavassa muodossa. (The file is stored in an accessible format.)
