Moottorillisia

Moottorillisia is a Finnish adjective used to describe objects, devices, or systems that are powered by an engine or motor. The word combines moottori (“engine”) with the suffix -llinen, and the plural-form adjective ending -isia is used when describing multiple motorized items.

In ordinary use, moottorillisia specifies motor-powered variants in contrast to manual or non-motorized forms. It appears in technical writing, catalog descriptions, and journalistic prose that distinguishes such equipment from manually operated equivalents. For example, one might refer to moottorillisia ajoneuvoja (motorized vehicles), moottorillisia työkoneita (motorized work machines), or moottorillisia veneitä (motorized boats).

In Finnish contexts the term generally functions as a descriptive category without a fixed ideological or cultural weight. It is encountered in education, industry documentation, and media that discuss transportation, machinery, or consumer electronics featuring an integrated motor. Related terms include moottori (engine), moottoripyörä (motorcycle), and sähkömoottori (electric motor). The adjective also supports contrasts such as manual versus motorized classifications and can appear in lists or inventories of equipment.
