Automaattisesti

Automaattisesti is a Finnish adverb meaning automatically. It describes actions or events that occur without human intervention, typically via a system, device, or software.

The word is derived from automaattinen (automatic), which in turn comes from automaatti (an automatic machine). In Finnish, many adverbs are formed by adding the suffix -sti to adjectives; thus automaattinen becomes automaattisesti.

Usage: It is commonly used in technology, computing, manufacturing, and everyday language to indicate that a function happens without manual input. Examples: Tiedot lähetetään automaattisesti. Ohjelma päivittää automaattisesti. The term is often contrasted with manuaalisesti (manually). In contexts such as software settings, features may be enabled to run automaattisesti by default, or users can trigger actions automaattisesti.

In compounds, automaattisesti can describe automatic processes and features, for instance automaattinen tallennus or automaattiset päivitykset. See also automaatti, automaatio, automaattinen, manuaalinen.
