Käyttötarkoituksessa

Käyttötarkoituksessa is a Finnish linguistic term formed from käyttötarkoitus (the intended use or purpose) with the inessive suffix -ssa, yielding “in the intended use” or “for the intended use.” It is used to indicate that something should be applied or operated within the defined purpose for which it is designed.

The phrase is common in written texts such as user manuals, product specifications, safety notices, and regulatory documents. It serves to constrain actions to the scope of a defined purpose. For example, a sentence might state that a device must be used only käyttö­tarkoituksessa, meaning that use outside the intended purpose is not allowed or may void warranties or create safety risks. In legal and compliance contexts, käyttötarkoituksessa helps distinguish between approved and unauthorized uses.

Grammar and related forms: käyttötarkoitus is the noun meaning “intended use.” The form käyttötarkoituksessa is the inessive case (“in the intended use”). Related terms include käyttötarkoitus (intended use), käyttöturvallisuus (occupational or product safety), and käyttöohje (instructions for use). The concept often appears alongside warnings, restrictions, and conditions of use.

Usage notes: While commonly employed in technical and formal Finnish, käyttötarkoituksessa emphasizes adherence to the purpose for which an item or procedure is designed. It is less about general use and more about conforming to defined specifications or legal requirements, thereby guiding safe and compliant operation.
