The base form laajamittainen is used to describe something that covers a wide scope, is conducted on a broad scale, or involves substantial resources or data. The word is a compound built from laaja (“wide”) and mittainen (from mitta, “measure”), conveying scale by measurement.

The form laajamittaisen is used when the noun it modifies is in the genitive case, for example laajamittaisen hankkeen rahoitus (financing of a large-scale project).

In Finnish, laajamittainen declines like other -nen adjectives. The nominative singular is laajamittainen; other forms include laajamittaiset (nominative plural) and laajamittaisia (partitive/genitive plural). The term is often employed in policy, research reports, and business communication to indicate scope and scale.
