Katselmustoimintaa is a Finnish term that roughly translates to "viewing activities" or "spectator activities." It refers to a broad range of actions and pursuits that involve observing or watching something. This can encompass passive entertainment, active engagement with events, or even more specialized forms of observation.

In its most common usage, katselmustoimintaa applies to enjoying sports. Watching a football match, a hockey game, or a track and field event are all prime examples.

It can also encompass more informal activities like people-watching in a public space. The core idea is the act of directed visual engagement with an object, event, or scene for purposes ranging from entertainment and education to relaxation and contemplation. The specific context usually clarifies the precise nature of the katselmustoimintaa being discussed.
