Keskinäinen is a Finnish adjective meaning mutual or reciprocal. It describes relations, obligations, or benefits that concern two or more parties in a symmetrical way. The term is used in everyday language as well as in legal, economic, and organizational contexts. Examples include keskinäinen etu (mutual benefit) and keskinäinen suhde (mutual relationship). In corporate and insurance language, keskinäinen is used in the name of specific business forms such as keskinäinen vakuutusyhtiö, a mutual insurance company owned by its policyholders rather than by shareholders.
