Yleissuosituksena

Yleissuosituksena is a Finnish term that translates to "as a general recommendation" or "as a broad recommendation" in English. It is often used in various contexts, including official guidelines, public health advice, and general advice given to a group of people. The phrase implies that the following suggestion or advice is applicable to most individuals or situations within a given scope, but it acknowledges that exceptions may exist or that specific circumstances might warrant a different course of action.

The term suggests a non-binding but authoritative piece of guidance. It is not a strict rule or a mandatory directive but rather a suggestion based on collective experience, expert opinion, or general best practices. For example, a public health agency might issue a yleissuosituksena for handwashing to prevent the spread of illness, understanding that while this is beneficial for most, individual medical conditions might require specific, personalized advice. Similarly, a professional organization might offer a yleissuosituksena on a particular procedure, allowing for professional judgment in nuanced cases. The emphasis is on providing a common framework or standard that is likely to be effective and appropriate for the majority.
