laajossanaisesti

Laajossanaisesti is a rarely used or coined Finnish adverb intended to describe doing something in a broad or expansive sense. It is not commonly found in standard dictionaries and is mostly encountered in linguistic discussion, language play, or experimental writing.

Etymology and form: The word appears to be a compound built from the adjective laaja (broad) with an adverbial suffix that conveys manner, producing a sense of “in a broad manner.” Its exact acceptability varies among speakers, and it is generally regarded as stylistically marked or experimental rather than a neutral, everyday term. The construction serves as an example of how Finnish can form adverbs through productive affixation to express nuanced shades of meaning.

Usage and interpretation: In practice, laajossanaisesti is not a conventional synonym of more common expressions such as laajasti or kattavasti. It may appear in analytic prose to emphasize breadth of scope, when a writer aims for a deliberately expansive or inclusive framing. In formal contexts, however, standard adverbs like laajasti or kattavasti are typically preferred. The term is more likely to be encountered in linguistic commentary, creative writing, or discussions about morphological possibilities in Finnish.

Examples and notes: Examples are limited and often hypothetical, such as “tutkimus tarkastellaan laajossanaisesti sekä taloudellisia että sosiaalisia vaikutuksia.” Readers should treat the term as a stylistic option rather than a widely accepted part of everyday Finnish.
