Reilu

Reilu is a Finnish adjective meaning fair, decent, or generous, used to describe behavior, deals, or situations that are considered just or reasonable. It can refer to people displaying integrity, to prices or terms that are not exploitative, or to actions that comply with accepted standards of fairness. In everyday language, reilu often carries a tone of practical fairness and straightforwardness; it is common in media, advertising, and public discourse.

As a grammatical adjective, reilu is used in a variety of constructions and forms with degree modifiers, such as more fair or most fair, and it has related forms including the noun reiluus (fairness) and the adverb reilusti (fairly, generously).

Common phrases include "reilu peli" (a fair game), "reilu tarjous" (a fair offer), and "reilun hinta" (a fair price). The word inflects for Finnish cases; for example, the genitive form is "reilun hinta" and the partitive is "reilua kohtelua" (fair treatment). The concept is closely linked to general Finnish notions of honesty and good conduct and is used across social, political, and consumer contexts to advocate for fairness and transparency.
