Monitahoisesti

Monitahoisesti is a Finnish adverb meaning “in a multi-faceted way” or “from several angles.” It is formed from moni- (many) and taho (side, party, or aspect) with the adverbial suffix -isesti. The term is used to describe actions, analyses, or processes that consider several dimensions, stakeholders, or viewpoints rather than a single perspective.

In scholarly and policy discourse, monitahoisesti highlights a holistic, multi-actor approach. For example, a monitahoisesti designed program includes input from government, businesses, civil society, and local communities; a monitahoisesti conducted assessment seeks to weigh economic, social, environmental, and ethical factors. The word is common in Finnish planning, governance, and research contexts where coordination among diverse actors is important.

The nuance of monitahoisesti implies that decisions or evaluations are not limited to one aspect but integrate multiple angles, which can increase complexity and require collaboration, negotiation, and balancing of competing interests. It can also serve to emphasize comprehensiveness or inclusiveness when describing strategic choices or analyses. While closely related to “monitahoinen” (multi-faceted) or “monipuolinen” (diverse), monitahoisesti specifically denotes the manner in which something is approached rather than its content.

In usage, writers may pair monitahoisesti with verbs of planning, evaluation, or implementation to convey a multi-dimensional process, for example: “projekti on monitahoisesti suunniteltu” or “vaikutuksia arvioidaan monitahoisesti.”
