vaihdettavan

Vaihdettavan is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective vaihdettava, meaning "exchangeable" or "to be exchanged." The form is used in noun phrases where the adjective modifies a noun in genitive case, often conveying that something can be exchanged or replaced under terms such as a warranty, return policy, or inventory description. Etymology: vaihdettava is derived from the verb vaihtaa "to exchange" plus the participial suffix -ttava, creating an adjective meaning "that can be exchanged" or "exchangeable." In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case; when the noun is in genitive singular, the adjective takes the genitive singular ending, yielding vaihdettavan. Examples: "Tämän vaihdettavan tuotteen takuu on voimassa" (The warranty for this exchangeable product is valid). "Vaihdettavan osan hinta" (the price of the replaceable part). Note that "vaihdettavan" may appear in legal or technical contexts, and can also function as a noun in some uses, though more common forms use vaihdettava or vaihdettava tuote as nouns. Related terms include vaihto ("exchange"), vaihtaminen ("changing"), and vaihtokäytäntö ("exchange policy"). See also: warranty, return policy, product replacement.
