taitettavat

Taitettavat is a Finnish adjective formed from the verb taittaa, meaning “to fold,” with the suffix -ttava that marks a characteristic or potential action. The form is used to describe objects that can be folded or bent and functions as an attributive adjective preceding the noun it modifies. The plural nominative form taitettavat follows normal Finnish agreement, as in taitettavat esineet (foldable items), taitettavat pakkaukset (foldable packaging), or taitettavat huonekalut (foldable furniture).

In practice, taitettavat is common in design, manufacturing, packaging, and consumer contexts to indicate foldability, portability, or space-saving properties. It appears in product specifications, catalogs, and instructional texts. The term is a standard part of Finnish grammar and does not constitute a separate technical domain; it simply conveys the property of being able to be folded.

Examples help illustrate usage: “Taitettavat huonekalut säästävät tilaa pienessä asunnossa.” (“Foldable furniture saves space in a small apartment.”) “Taitettavat kartonkipakkaukset keventävät kuljetusta ja varastointia.” (“Foldable cardboard packaging lightens shipping and storage.”) Another common phrase is “taitettavat esitteet,” referring to brochures that can be folded for distribution.
