Asiaankuuluvissa

Asiaankuuluvissa is a Finnish term encountered in formal legal and administrative language, used to denote matters that are to be heard, deliberated, or adjudicated by a competent authority. It typically appears in official agendas, minutes, and decision documents to indicate that the listed issues are in the process of being heard rather than decided.

The form is a compound built from asia (matter, issue) and kuulua or kuuluminen related forms, with the suffix -issa indicating a state or location. In essence, asiaankuuluvissa conveys that a matter is within the hearing process or within the scope of a forthcoming review. The exact usage can vary by institution, but the core idea is a procedural status rather than a substantive outcome.

Usage and context: The term signals that a specific item will undergo a hearing or examination before a final determination is made. It is primarily found in formal documents such as court calendars, administrative records, committee reports, and other official texts. It is not common in everyday speech, and it often requires contextual understanding of the proceedings in which it appears.

Translation and equivalents: There is no single universal English equivalent. Common renderings include “in matters to be heard,” “pending for hearing,” or “under consideration by hearing.” Related concepts include kuuleminen (hearing) and käsittely (processing or handling), which describe related stages in administrative or judicial workflows.
