Huomautusmerkkinä

Huomautusmerkkinä is a Finnish term that translates to "as a reminder" or "for your information" in English. It is commonly used in written communication, such as emails, letters, or notes, to draw attention to a piece of information that the sender wants the recipient to keep in mind or acknowledge.

The phrase is typically employed when a detail might otherwise be overlooked or when reiterating a point that has been previously discussed or agreed upon. It serves as a polite way to ensure that the information is registered and considered, without necessarily demanding immediate action. For instance, one might write "Huomautusmerkkinä, tapaaminen on siirretty torstaille" which translates to "As a reminder, the meeting has been moved to Thursday."

The use of huomautusmerkkinä is generally considered a professional and considerate practice. It helps to prevent misunderstandings and ensures that all parties are on the same page regarding important details. It is a subtle yet effective tool for clear communication, particularly in contexts where multiple tasks or pieces of information are being managed.
