Pitkäaikaiselta

Pitkäaikaiselta is a Finnish word that translates to "long-term" or "for a long time" in English. It is an adverbial form derived from the adjective "pitkäaikainen," meaning long-lasting or of long duration.

The word is used to describe a situation, condition, or effect that has persisted for an extended period or is expected to continue for a considerable time. For example, it might be used to discuss a pitkäaikaiselta terveysongelma (long-term health problem), a pitkäaikaiselta työttömyys (long-term unemployment), or pitkäaikaiselta yhteistyö (long-term cooperation).

In economic contexts, pitkäaikaiselta can refer to investments or loans that extend over many years. Similarly, in scientific research, it might describe observations or effects studied over extended durations. The term emphasizes the duration or persistence of a phenomenon rather than its intensity or immediate impact. Its usage implies a consideration of continuity and the potential for lasting consequences.
