laatimisesta

Laatimisesta is a Finnish noun form referring to the act or process of drafting or composing written material, especially in formal contexts. It is derived from the verb laatia, meaning to draft or prepare, and the noun-forming suffix -minen. The ending -sta/-stä marks the elative case, so laatimisesta can be understood as “from the drafting,” or more idiomatically, “the drafting process” or “concerning the drafting.”

In Finnish usage, laatimisesta is common in administrative, legal, academic, and policy-related writing. It is used to signal topics related to preparing texts such as legislation, contracts, reports, or other official documents. The term emphasizes the activity and steps involved in producing written material rather than the finished document itself, and it often appears in discussions of timelines, responsibilities, and procedures tied to drafting.

The concept is closely connected to related terms such as laatia (to draft), laadinta or laatiminen (drafting, preparation), and to phrases describing roles (for example, a person or unit responsible for laatimisesta). In formal discourse, writers may specify the scope of the drafting phase, outline standards for language and structure, and refer to the drafting stage when allocating tasks or setting deadlines.

Overall, laatimisesta denotes the drafting phase or concerns around drafting, a key element in the preparation of formal texts and documents within Finnish administrative and professional contexts.
