kommunikatiivisen

Kommunikatiivinen is a Finnish adjective meaning related to communication or oriented toward effective interaction. It is formed from the noun kommunikaatio (communication) with the adjective suffix -inen. The related noun kommunikatiivisuus denotes the quality or characteristic of being communicative, while kommunikoiminen or kommunikaatio refer to the act or process of communicating. The term is used across education, linguistics, and organizational contexts to describe approaches, skills, or tools that prioritize communication.

Kommunikatiivisen is the genitive singular form of the adjective, used when modifying a noun in the genitive case. For example, kommunikaation suuntautuvan käytännön enlightenment? Correction: example should be clear. A correct example is "kommunikatiivisen oppilaan taidot" meaning the skills of the communicative student. In nominative singular it would be kommunikatiivinen oppilas. Finnish adjectives decline for number and case, so the form changes to match the noun they describe.

In practice, the term appears in phrases such as kommunikatiivinen lähestymistapa (a communicative approach) or kommunikaatiota korostavat menetelmät (methods that emphasize communication). It is often used to describe language teaching that prioritizes speaking and interaction, as well as in psychology, management, and customer service to denote an emphasis on dialogue and listening. While synonymous in some contexts with viestintä- or vuorovaikutteinen, kommunikatiivinen specifically foregrounds the communicative aspect of skills, behavior, or methods.
