enemmistöin

enemmistöin is a Finnish word that translates to "by the majority" or "in the majority." It is an adverbial form derived from the noun "enemmistö," meaning "majority." The word is used to describe actions or situations where a decision is made or something occurs based on the will or presence of the largest group within a larger body.

For instance, in a political context, a law might be passed enemmistöin if more than half of the voting members supported it. Similarly, in a meeting, a proposal might be accepted enemmistöin, indicating that the majority of attendees voted in favor. The term emphasizes the outcome of a collective decision-making process where a predominant group's opinion prevails. It is commonly encountered in discussions related to voting, elections, and group consensus. The opposite of enemmistöin would typically involve actions taken by a minority or by consensus, where agreement is sought from all members.
