intuitiivisella

Intuitiivisella is the adessive singular form of the Finnish adjective intuitiivinen, meaning "intuitive." In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case, so intuitiivisella is used with a singular noun in the adessive case to indicate the manner, basis, or context of a statement or action, roughly translating to "on an intuitive level" or "with an intuitive approach."

Etymology: The word derives from the noun intuitio (intuition) and the adjective-forming suffix -inen; the adessive form is created by adding the -lla/-llä ending, yielding intuitiivisella for the singular adessive.

Usage: Intuitiivisella is commonly used to describe modes of reasoning, perception, or evaluation that rely on intuition rather than formal logic. It functions as an adjective in the adessive case and is not used as an adverb. The corresponding adverbial form is intuitiivisesti, meaning "intuitively." Typical phrases include intuitiivisella tasolla ("at an intuitive level") and intuitiivisella lähestymistavalla ("with an intuitive approach").

Examples:

- Ratkaisu tehtiin intuitiivisella lähestymistavalla.

- Käyttäjäarvioinnissa korostettiin intuitiivisella tasolla havaittuja etuja.

Notes: Intuitiivinen as a base adjective describes something guided by intuition. When describing the manner or context in Finnish, intuitiivisella provides a precise adessive form that links to nouns such as taso, lähestymistapa, päätös, or arviointi.
