Elektronisesti

Elektronisesti is a Finnish adverb meaning "in an electronic way" or "electronically." It describes actions performed using electronic devices, systems, or processes, often to indicate automation, digitisation, or transmission through electronic channels. It is commonly used in administrative, business, and information-technology contexts.

Etymology: The term is formed from the Finnish adjective elektroninen (electronic) by adding the adverbial suffix -isesti. Elektroninen itself originates from elektron- (Greek elektron), a root historically associated with electricity and electronic devices.

Usage: In contemporary Finnish, elektronisesti is used to describe methods such as document handling, communication, and payments carried out by electronic means. Examples include electronically signed documents (elektronisesti allekirjoitetut asiakirjat), electronically delivered invoices (elektronisesti toimitetut laskut), or orders placed electronically. It is distinct from sähköisesti, which in Finnish more commonly means "electrically" in the physical sense rather than through electronic systems.

Related terms and notes: Elektronisesti relates to elektroninen (the adjective) and to broader concepts of electronic technology. It is widely used in business, IT, and administrative language to indicate that a process is conducted via digital or electronic channels rather than on paper or by manual methods.
