tehostettava

Tehostettava is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb tehostaa, meaning to boost, strengthen, or optimize. It functions as an adjective or, in some contexts, as a substantive that labels something intended to be made more efficient or effective. The word captures the sense of a target or object that is planned for improvement.

In practice tehostettava is used in technical, engineering, and planning contexts. It appears in procurement specifications, project plans, and quality or performance improvement discussions to denote items, processes, or targets that should undergo enhancement. For example, tehostettava järjestelmä means a system that is to be enhanced, and tehostettavat toimenpiteet refers to measures that will be implemented to increase efficiency or performance. The phrase tehostettavan kohteen or tehostettavan prosessin would indicate the target or process that is to be optimized.

Grammatically tehostettava is the base form of the present active participle with the -ttava suffix. It can be declined like a regular Finnish attributive adjective, forming variants such as tehostettavan kohteen (genitive), tehostettavaa kohdetta (partitive), and tehostettava kohde (nominative). In many technical texts, however, the base form tehostettava is used more as a label or descriptor without a full case marking.

Related terms include tehostaa (to boost or intensify), tehostaminen (the act or process of boosting/improving), and other forms derived from tehostaa. Tehostettava thus denotes the object or target of improvement, typically within contexts focused on efficiency, performance, or optimization.
