järjestelmäkohtaista

Järjestelmäkohtaista is a Finnish adjective form meaning system-specific or pertaining to a particular system. It is formed from järjestelmä (system) and kohtainen (pertaining to) and appears in inflected forms such as järjestelmäkohtaista or järjestelmäkohtaiset, depending on case and number. In Finnish usage, it describes information, requirements, or behavior that varies with the system in question.

The term is commonly used in IT, engineering, software development, and regulatory or technical documentation. It helps distinguish generic, cross-system guidance from aspects that must be tailored to a specific system, platform, or environment. For example, phrases like järjestelmäkohtaista tietoa (system-specific information), järjestelmäkohtaiset vaatimukset (system-specific requirements), and järjestelmäkohtainen toteutus (system-specific implementation) are typical in project specifications and technical manuals.

Etymologically, the word reflects a compound of järjestelmä and kohtainen with Finnish inflection, enabling it to modify nouns in various cases. The concept aligns with English terms such as system-specific or platform-specific, though the exact nuance may depend on context, particularly which system is being referenced (operating system, hardware, software environment, or regulatory framework).

In practice, recognizing järjestelmäkohtaista information helps ensure compatibility, correct configuration, and appropriate testing across different systems. It often implies that a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient and that documentation or requirements must account for system-specific differences.
