Monitoiminnallisia

Monitoiminnallisia is a Finnish plural partitive form of the adjective monitoiminnallinen, meaning multifunctional.

It is common in product descriptions, design discussions, and technology journalism to signal that a product offers more than one core capability without requiring separate tools.

Grammar and related terms: the singular form is monitoiminnallinen, and the noun form for the concept is monitoiminnallisuus (multifunctionality). Monitoiminnallisia modifies nouns in the plural partitive, for example monitoiminnallisia laitteita or monitoiminnallisia ratkaisuja, depending on the grammatical context.

Contexts and examples: in consumer electronics, smartphones are often described as monitoiminnallisia because they integrate calling, camera, GPS, media playback, and internet access in one device. All-in-one printers are another example, combining printing, scanning, copying, and sometimes faxing. In software, suites that bundle word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation tools can be labeled monitoiminnallisia. The term is also used in industrial design and smart systems to highlight convergence of functionalities that traditionally required separate devices.
