Sopivuudella

Sopivuudella is the adessive form of the Finnish noun sopivuus, used to express “with suitability” or “by virtue of suitability” as a factor in evaluation, planning, or description. It functions as an instrumental or attributive modifier in sentences.

In meaning, sopivuudella denotes the quality of being suitable for a given purpose or situation. It is commonly used to indicate that a decision, assessment, or design is based on or depends on how appropriate something is for its intended use. The term appears frequently in formal or technical contexts such as specifications, procurement documents, risk assessments, and policy discussions. In everyday speech, speakers more often rely on sopivuus or on phrases like sopivuuden mukaan to convey related ideas.

Usage notes and context: sopivuudella tends to appear when one wants to highlight suitability as a criterion or factor in a broader evaluation. It can be used with verbs like olla (to be), merkitä (to signify), or vaikuttaa (to influence). For example, “Sopivuudella on suuri merkitys päätöksenteossa” (Suitability has a significant importance in decision-making). In many ordinary contexts, the concept is expressed with sopivuus or with phrases such as “sopivuuden mukaan,” rather than the adessive form.

Related terms include sopivuus (suitability/fitness) and kelpaavuus (acceptability), though kelpaavuus emphasizes acceptability more than technical suitability. See also phrases referring to criteria, such as tekniset ja taloudelliset kriteerit, which frequently interact with sopivuudella in evaluative texts.
