Ominaisuudeltaan

Ominaisuudeltaan is a Finnish adverbial expression meaning "in terms of its features" or "feature-wise." It is used to describe something from the perspective of its characteristics, rather than its price, popularity, or other aspects. The phrase helps to specify how a subject performs or presents itself with respect to its own properties.

The construction stems from the noun ominaisuus (feature, characteristic) combined with the suffix -eltaan, producing an adverbial modifier. As a result, ominaisuudeltaan can modify adjectives or entire clauses, enabling concise comparisons and evaluations focused on attributes or capabilities. It is common in technical writing, product descriptions, reviews, and other formal contexts.

Usage notes and examples:

- Tämä puhelin on ominaisuudeltaan erinomainen, vaikka hinta on korkea. (This phone is excellent in terms of its features, though the price is high.)

- Laitteen ominaisuudeltaan monipuolinen näytönohjaus tarjoaa sujuvan käyttökokemuksen. (The device, feature-wise, has a versatile graphics capability that provides a smooth user experience.)

- Kameran ominaisuudeltaan vahvuudet ovat laajasti arvostettuja. (The camera’s features are broadly appreciated.)

Ominaisuudeltaan is relatively formal and is especially common in written descriptions and comparative assessments. It emphasizes characteristics and performance of a subject rather than other considerations, such as design or price, though those may be mentioned in accompanying statements.
