liiketoiminnallisina

Liiketoiminnallisina is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective liiketoiminnallinen, meaning “business-related” or “commercial.” It is the plural essive form of the adjective, used when describing multiple nouns in the state or role of being business-related. In practice, the form appears in corporate, policy, and strategy texts to frame elements by their commercial orientation.

Usage and examples

Liiketoiminnallisina is typically used with plural nouns in sentences that express a business-oriented character or function. Common contexts include phrases such as liiketoiminnallisina osa-alueina (as business-related sub-areas) or liiketoiminnallisina tavoitteina (as business-related goals). The construction helps emphasize commercial relevance in planning, evaluation, and reporting. For example: Esityksen liiketoiminnallisina osa-alueina mainittiin markkinointi, myynti ja hinnoittelu. Tavoitteet voivat olla liiketoiminnallisina, mikä korostaa taloudellista ja markkinallista painopistettä.

Morphology and nuance

The form signals that the described items belong to the business domain, rather than to tekninen, sosiaalinen, or muu non-commercial categories. It is most natural in formal or professional texts. The singular counterpart is liiketoiminnallinen; the form changes across cases and numbers according to Finnish grammar, with liiketoiminnallisina representing plural essive usage.

Etymology and relation

The word combines liiketoiminta (business activity) with the -llinen adjective suffix, and the essive plural ending -na/-nä pattern. It sits alongside related terms such as liiketoiminta, liiketoiminnallinen, and liiketoiminnallisuus, in contexts that distinguish commercial orientation from non-business perspectives.
