Yleisteräyksenä

Yleisteräyksenä is a Finnish term that translates to "as a general supply" or "as common provision" in English. It refers to the concept of something being provided or available for general use or consumption by a group or community, rather than for a specific or individual purpose. This can apply to a wide range of contexts, from everyday resources to more abstract ideas.

In practical terms, yleisteräyksenä might describe the way public services are funded and distributed, such as schools or healthcare, which are available to all citizens. It can also refer to shared resources like parks or libraries, intended for the benefit of the entire community. The term emphasizes accessibility and broad availability.

Beyond tangible goods and services, yleisteräyksenä can also relate to knowledge or information that is freely shared and widely disseminated. For instance, public domain works or open-source software could be considered examples of yleisteräyksenä. The core idea is that the provision is not exclusive but rather inclusive, serving a collective need or interest. The opposite would be something provided for a specific, limited purpose or to a select few.
