Viestittelynä

Viestittelynä is a Finnish term that broadly translates to "as messaging" or "in terms of messaging." It is used to describe the act of communication through written messages, typically short ones, as opposed to spoken conversation or other forms of interaction. This can encompass a wide range of communication methods, including text messages (SMS), instant messaging applications like WhatsApp or Telegram, and even email when used for brief, informal exchanges.

The term emphasizes the *way* communication is being conducted – through the sending and receiving of discrete messages. It is often used when contrasting this method with other forms of communication, such as a face-to-face discussion or a phone call. For example, someone might say that a particular piece of information was conveyed "viestittelynä" to indicate it was sent via text message rather than spoken directly.

The context in which "viestittelynä" is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning. It can refer to the general practice of sending messages, the specific act of composing and sending a message, or the nature of the communication itself as being message-based. It highlights the asynchronous and often concise nature of communication that relies on written text. The prevalence of digital communication has made the concept of "viestittelynä" increasingly common in everyday language.
