Järjelliseen

Järjelliseen is a Finnish adjective meaning "reasonable," "rational," or "logical." It is derived from the noun "järki," which translates to "reason," "sense," or "intellect." The adjective "järjelliseen" describes something that is in accordance with or based on reason, good judgment, or sound thinking. It can be applied to actions, decisions, arguments, or even individuals who exhibit these qualities.

In everyday language, "järjelliseen" implies a sensible and well-thought-out approach. A "järjelliseen päätös" would be a decision that makes sense and is not driven by emotion or impulse. Similarly, a "järjelliseen perustelu" is an argument that is logically coherent and supported by evidence. The opposite of "järjelliseen" might be "järjetön," meaning unreasonable, irrational, or absurd.

The concept of "järjelliseen" is central to philosophical discussions about ethics, epistemology, and human behavior. It signifies the capacity for abstract thought, critical analysis, and the ability to make sound judgments based on evidence and logical inference. In legal contexts, actions are often evaluated based on whether they were "järjelliseen," implying a standard of reasonable conduct expected of a prudent person.
