eialkoholiperäinen

eialkoholiperäinen is a Finnish compound adjective used to describe products or substances that do not contain alcohol. The term is formed by combining the negation ei with alkoholiperäinen, a root referring to content derived from or related to alcohol. In everyday Finnish, the more common equivalents are alkoholiton or ei alkoholipitoinen; however eialkoholiperäinen may appear in technical, labeling, or descriptive contexts to emphasize the absence of ethanol.

Etymology: ei (not) + alkoholiperäinen (related to alcohol). The latter is built from alkoholi (alcohol) and the suffix -peräinen, which is used in Finnish to create adjectives indicating origin or content. Together, the phrase conveys 'not alcohol-related' or 'non-alcohol-containing'. Spelling varies; hyphenated form ei-alkoholiperäinen is frequent in product labeling, while running text may use eialkoholiperäinen or ei alkoholiperäinen.

Usage: mainly in labeling of beverages, medicines, or cosmetics to indicate absence of ethanol or alcoholic content. In practice, many Finnish producers prefer alkoholiton or ei alkoholipitoinen as clearer, widely understood terms. The term may appear in dictionaries, glossaries, or regulatory texts where precise phrasing about content classification is required.
