Grammattisesti

Grammattisesti is a Finnish adverb meaning “grammatically” or “in terms of grammar.” It is used to qualify statements about the grammatical aspects of a sentence, phrase, or text. The word is formed with an adverbial suffix and is commonly found in educational, editing, and linguistic contexts to indicate that something pertains to the rules of grammar.

In practice, grammattisesti is used to discuss various grammatical features, such as inflection, agreement, word order, and punctuation. It often appears when distinguishing grammar from other dimensions of language analysis, such as semantics or style. For example, it can be used in phrases that evaluate whether a sentence is grammattisesti correct or grammattisesti unclear, though in ordinary speech speakers may rely on more familiar constructions.

The term is part of standard Finnish vocabulary and occurs in academic writing, language-learning materials, and professional editing. Its usage helps speakers and writers specify that a judgment or description relates specifically to grammar rather than to meaning or tone. Grammattisesti can thus function as a precise descriptor in grammar-focused discussions, language documentation, and pedagogy, contributing to clearer communication about linguistic correctness and rules.
