liikkuvuudeltaan

Liikkuvuudeltaan is a Finnish linguistic form meaning “in terms of mobility” or “mobility-wise.” It is derived from the noun liikkuvuus (mobility, ability to move) with the suffix -eltaan, which signals that the statement concerns the dimension of mobility. The construction is used to specify which attribute is being discussed.

In grammar, liikkuvuudeltaan behaves like a modifier that can attach to a noun to express a particular aspect, often in comparative or evaluative statements. It is common in formal or analytic writing, such as research reports, planning documents, and product descriptions, where multiple dimensions are compared. The form is typically followed by a verb or adjective in a comparative clause, for example: “se on liikkuvuudeltaan parempi kuin vanhempi malli” (it is better in terms of mobility than the older model).

Common contexts include urban planning, transportation analysis, accessibility studies, and technical product evaluations, where mobility (for people, goods, or systems) is a key factor. Because liikkuvuus can cover both physical movement and geographic or functional flexibility, liikkuvuudeltaan provides a concise way to discuss those aspects without repeating the base noun.

Etymology notes: liikkuvuudeltaan combines liikkuvuus with -eltaan, a suffix used in Finnish to denote dimension or aspect (“as regards X”). Related expressions include turvallisuudeltaan (in terms of safety) and kestävyydeltään (in terms of durability).
