tarkastettavana

Tarkastettavana is a Finnish participial form that functions as an adjective or attributive phrase meaning "to be inspected" or "under inspection." It is derived from the verb tarkastaa, “to inspect,” and belongs to the family of -ttava participles used to describe ongoing or future actions related to the noun they modify.

The form tarkastettavana is typically used in two main ways. First, as part of a predicative construction with a form of olla, to indicate that something is currently under review or awaiting inspection, for example: "Raportti on tarkastettavana." Second, as an attributive phrase within noun phrases, most often in formal or bureaucratic language, as in "tarkastettavana oleva asiakirja" meaning "a document that is to be checked" or "a document awaiting inspection." In these uses, tarkastettavana conveys a state of pending or required examination rather than completed review.

Usage notes and context: tarkastettavana tends to appear in written, administrative, legal, or quality-control contexts where items, documents, procedures, or processes are subject to inspection, audit, or verification. It is less common in colloquial speech, where simpler expressions such as "tarkastettava" or "on tarkastettu" might be used instead, depending on tense and emphasis.

Related terms include tarkastettava (to be inspected), tarkastus (inspection), and tarkastelu (inspection/assessment). The form tarkastettavana highlights the ongoing or upcoming nature of the inspection and is part of Finnish participial morphology that marks obligations or states related to action.
