deskriptiivisenä

Deskriptiivisenä is a Finnish adjective meaning descriptive. It is used to describe something that provides a detailed account or explanation of something, often focusing on its characteristics, qualities, or appearance. In linguistics, descriptive grammar is an approach that studies and describes how language is actually used by its speakers, rather than prescribing how it should be used. This contrasts with prescriptive grammar, which sets rules for correct language usage. Therefore, when something is described as deskriptiivisenä, it implies an objective and detailed portrayal of its nature.
