Usage notes

In English "winnable" is an adjective, but voitettavissa is an adverb, i.e. it cannot be used attributively. If necessary, an attribute can be formed by adding oleva (“being”) after it:

voitettavissa oleva peli
a winnable game

In this type of structure, only oleva is inflected.

Ennakolta pidin tätä voitettavissa olevana pelinä.
In advance I regarded this as a winnable game.
