Noudatessa

Noudatessa is a Finnish present participle form derived from the verb noudattaa, meaning to comply with or to follow. It is used mainly in formal or legal Finnish to introduce adverbial clauses that indicate actions performed in accordance with rules, laws, or guidelines. In English, it is often translated as “while complying with” or “in complying with.”

Formation and usage notes: Noudatessa is formed from the verb’s stem plus the participial suffix -essa, producing an adverbial clause that describes concurrent compliance with specified norms. This form is common in administrative and regulatory texts. It is one of several related expressions for describing compliance, alongside noudattaen (by complying) and noudattamalla (by following); these forms differ in nuance and register, with noudatessa typically occupying a more formal, clause-connecting role.

Typical contexts and examples: In legal or organizational language, noudatessa sets the condition under which a statement or action applies. For example: Lainsäädäntöä noudatessa yritys sitoutuu seuraaviin periaatteisiin. In addition: Tietoturvaohjeita noudatessa varmistetaan tietojen eheys ja salassapito. Sopimuksen ehtoja noudatessa osapuolet hyväksyvät sovitut vastuut. These usages illustrate how noudatessa links compliance with consequent obligations or performed actions.

Related terms and variations: Other Finnish forms express similar ideas, such as noudattaen, noudattamalla and noudatettava (the latter meaning “to be complied with”). Each form serves a distinct syntactic or stylistic role, with noudatessa favoring formal, clause-linking constructions.
