toimittavaa

Toimittavaa is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb toimittaa, meaning to deliver or to supply. It is the partitive singular form of the present active participle toimittava. In Finnish, participles can function as adjectives or nouns, and the partitive form is used when the head noun is in the partitive case or when the action is indefinite.

As a present active participle, toimittava describes someone or something that delivers or supplies. When declined in the partitive, the form toimittavaa is used in phrases where the noun it modifies is also in the partitive. This usage is common in legal, procurement, and project-management language, where it often translates loosely to “deliverable” or “goods to be delivered.”

In practical terms, toimittavaa appears in expressions such as toimittavaa tavaraa (deliverable goods) or toimittavaa palvelua (deliverable services). It signals items or services that have yet to be delivered under an agreement, contract, or plan. The term is generally understood within a formal or technical register and is less common in everyday speech, where simpler phrases like toimitettavat tavarat or tavaraa toimitettavaksi might be used.

Relation to related forms includes the nominative toimittava (the delivering one), the genitive toimittavan, and the plural forms toimittavat/ toimittavia depending on the case and number. Another common related adjective is toimitettava, which is used to describe something that is to be delivered, sometimes overlapping in meaning with toimittavaa in practice.

In summary, toimittavaa is the partitive form of the Finnish present active participle for toimittaa, frequently encountered in formal contexts to denote deliverables or goods/services to be delivered.
