Käyttökohtaisesti

Käyttökohtaisesti is a Finnish adverb derived from the noun ’käyttö’, meaning ‘use’, combined with the suffix ’-kohtaisesti’, which expresses manner or condition. The word literally translates to “in a manner of use” or “usage‑specific”. In everyday Finnish it is used to qualify statements or instructions that apply only to specific contexts or situations. For instance, a manual may state that the software functions ’käyttökohtaisesti’ differently when accessed from a mobile device than from a desktop computer. Linguistically, the term exemplifies Finnish agglutinative morphology, where meaning is built by adding affixes to a root. In written Finnish, ’käyttökohtaisesti’ often appears in legal documents, technical specifications, and academic articles dealing with usability or context‑dependent analysis. The form is analogous to the English adverb ’contextually’, though it is more narrowly tied to the concept of use rather than general context. While less common in colloquial speech, the term remains a useful descriptor in formal and technical discourse.
