administratiiviset

Administratiiviset is a Finnish adjective meaning administrative. It describes things related to administration, organization, or official procedures. In everyday language it appears in phrases such as administratiiviset tehtävät (administrative tasks) and administratiiviset tiedot (administrative data).

In Finnish grammar, adjectives decline for number and case. Administratiivinen is the singular form, and administratiiviset is the plural nominative and plural accusative form used with plural nouns. The noun determines the case and inflection, for example administratiivisessa toimistossa (in an administrative office) or administrations of multiple tasks would be described with administratiiviset tehtävät.

Semantics and usage: the term overlaps with hallinnollinen, but administratiivinen is often used for office tasks, internal procedures, or data within an organization, whereas hallinnollinen more directly describes public administration or governmental matters. The word is generally considered a loanword from Latin via other European languages, reflecting its basis in administrative or bureaucratic contexts.

See also: hallinnollinen, byrokraattinen, viranomaiset. The term is common in corporate, governmental, and statistical language when distinguishing administrative aspects from purely technical or substantive content. In Finnish writing, administratiiviset typically functions as a modifier to a plural noun, signaling that the described items relate to administration or bureaucratic processes.
