laajanmukaisen

Laajanmukaisen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "extensive," "comprehensive," or "widespread" in English. It is derived from the Finnish word "laaja," meaning "wide" or "broad," and the suffix "-n mukainen," which indicates "according to" or "in accordance with." Therefore, "laajanmukaisen" literally means "according to the wide" or "in accordance with the broad."

This adjective is used to describe something that covers a large area, a significant scope, or a broad range of aspects. For example, it can be used to describe an extensive investigation, a comprehensive report, or a widespread disease. The specific nuance of meaning depends on the context in which it is used. In some cases, it might imply thoroughness and completeness, while in others, it might simply refer to the sheer scale or reach of something.

The word "laajanmukaisen" is a genitive form, meaning it is often used in relation to another noun. For instance, "laajanmukaisen selvityksen" would mean "of an extensive investigation" or "an extensive investigation's." It is a common term in Finnish professional and academic discourse, particularly in fields such as law, science, and business, where detailed and far-reaching analyses are often required. Its versatility makes it a useful descriptor for many situations where a broad or thorough approach is implied.
