Laitekohtaisten

Laitekohtaisten is a Finnish adjective form meaning device-specific or pertaining to a particular device. It is derived from laite, meaning device, and kohtainen, meaning related or pertinent, and appears in inflected forms depending on case and number. The form laitekohtaisten is used when the noun it modifies is plural and in a genitive or related case, as in phrases such as laitekohtaisten ohjeiden mukaan (according to device-specific instructions) or laitekohtaisten standardien vaatimukset (the requirements of device-specific standards).

Usage and context: The term is common in technical, regulatory, and product documentation in Finnish. It signals that guidance, requirements, or characteristics apply to a particular device or a defined family of devices rather than to devices in general. In contexts like medical devices, consumer electronics, or software that depends on hardware, laitekohtaisten vaatimusten noudattaminen (compliance with device-specific requirements) or laitekohtaisten ohjeiden seuraaminen (following device-specific instructions) are used to distinguish device-specific rules from universal ones.

Notes: Because Finnish grammar relies on context, the exact interpretation of laitekohtaisten depends on the noun it modifies. The term is primarily descriptive and appears in technical and regulatory texts, manuals, and guidelines. It is closely related to laitekohtainen, the base adjective meaning device-specific, and to laite (device).
