kuulutuksena

Kuulutus is a Finnish word that translates to "proclamation," "announcement," or "edict" in English. It generally refers to a public declaration or notification of official matters, laws, or important events. Historically, kuulutus was a primary method for disseminating information to the public before the advent of modern media. These announcements were often made orally in public places, read aloud in churches, or posted on notice boards.

In modern usage, the term kuulutus can still refer to official announcements, such as those made by government bodies, municipalities, or religious organizations. For instance, a municipality might issue a kuulutus regarding a new regulation, a public hearing, or a significant local event. The format of a kuulutus can vary; it may be published in a local newspaper, posted on the municipality's website, or displayed in a physical location. The key characteristic is its intent to inform the public about matters of general interest or official import. The term emphasizes the formal and public nature of the communication.
