informaatiollinen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "informational" in English. It is used to describe something that provides or contains information. This can refer to a wide range of things, such as documents, websites, reports, or even conversations. The core idea is that the subject possesses or conveys data, facts, or knowledge.

For example, a brochure might be described as informaatiollinen if it clearly explains a product or service. Similarly, a news article is inherently informaatiollinen as its purpose is to report events and provide facts.
