Alueellista

alueellista is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective alueellinen, meaning regional. Specifically, alueellista is the partitive singular form and is used when the noun it modifies is in the partitive case or when the action described is indefinite or ongoing. The term does not constitute a separate lexical entry; rather, it is a grammatical form of a broader concept.

In usage, alueellista commonly appears in contexts discussing regional aspects, differences, or development. For example, a sentence like tutkimus kohdistuu alueellista kehitystä koskeviin tekijöihin translates to a study focusing on factors concerning regional development. The form is also found in phrases describing regional policies, economies, or identities, such as alueellista eriytymistä or alueellista politiikkaa, depending on the governing verb or noun in the sentence.

Morphologically, alueellista follows the standard Finnish adjective inflection pattern. Its other forms align with those of adjectives: the base meaning regionally or regional is carried by alueellinen, while area-specific possessives or pluralizations will use the corresponding adjective endings. The adverbial form, derived from alueellinen, is alueellisesti, which means “regionally” and is distinct from the partitive area marked by alueellista.

Related terms include alueellinen (regional), alueellisuus (regionality), and alueellisesti (regionally as an adverb). These forms collectively describe the relationship between an entity and a geographical or administrative region.
