Ajankohdittaiset

Ajankohdittaiset is a Finnish adjective in plural form meaning "time-specific" or "dated" and is used to describe items, data or events tied to particular times or occasions. The word derives from ajankohta (a point in time, occasion) plus the adjectival suffix -tinen, with the plural nominative ending -tiset.

As an adjective it modifies nouns to indicate temporal specificity: for example ajankohdittaiset tiedot refers to data that apply to specific dates or periods, and ajankohdittaiset maksut denotes payments scheduled for particular times. Depending on context, translations into English can vary between "time-specific", "periodic", "dated", or "timely", and the precise nuance is set by surrounding words.

Ajankohdittaiset appears in administrative, statistical and everyday language when distinguishing between general or continuous phenomena and those that occur at distinct moments. In reports and forms it helps clarify whether information, benefits or obligations are contingent on timing. The term can also be used substantively in plural to refer collectively to time-bound items or entries.
