Questions & Answers about Ehdotus on kannattamaton, joten sitä ei toteutettane.
How exactly is the negative passive potential form ei toteutettane built from toteuttaa?
First, find the standard passive form of toteuttaa (to realize or implement), which is toteutetaan. To make it potential, the passive ending -taan is replaced with the passive potential marker -ttane- plus the personal ending -en, making toteutettaneen (it will probably be realized). For the negative form, you use the negative verb ei and simply drop the -en ending, leaving ei toteutettane.
Why is the pronoun se (it) in the partitive case (sitä) here?
sitä acts as the direct object of the verb phrase ei toteutettane. A core rule of Finnish grammar is that the object of a negative verb must always be in the partitive case, regardless of whether the verb is active or passive.
What is the root of the adjective kannattamaton, and how does the suffix change its meaning?
It is derived from the verb kannattaa, which means "to be profitable" or "to be worth doing" in this context. The suffix -maton (or -mätön) is a negative participle ending that means "un-" or "without doing". Attached to the verb stem, it creates kannattamaton, meaning "unprofitable" or "unviable".
Would Finns naturally use the potential mood (toteutettane) in everyday conversation?
Not usually. The potential mood is quite formal and is mostly found in written Finnish, official statements, or news broadcasts. In everyday spoken language, a Finn would more likely use the standard negative passive combined with a probability adverb, such as sitä ei varmaan toteuteta or sitä ei todennäköisesti toteuteta.
