maakohtaisesta

Maakohtaisesta is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective maakohtainen, meaning country-specific or nation-specific. The base maakohtainen is formed from maa, meaning country, and the suffix -kohtainen, used to indicate relation or relevance to something. The term is used to describe things that are tailored to, or vary by, a particular country's context—such as maakohtaiset lait, maakohtaiset standardit, maakohtaiset tilastot or maakohtainen näkökulma.

In sentences, maakohtaisesta is typically part of a larger phrase indicating from a country-specific viewpoint or regarding regulations in a given country: for example, "maakohtaisesta näkökulmasta katsottuna tilanne on erilainen" (from a country-specific perspective the situation differs), or "maakohtaisista säädöksistä johtuvat erot" (differences arising from country-specific regulations). The form is used in academic, policy, and comparative contexts where national differences matter.

Etymology and usage notes: It is a compound that behaves as an ordinary Finnish adjective, with inflection following standard agreement rules. The term should be distinguished from more general concepts such as kansallinen (national) or valtiokohtainen, where nuance differs depending on context. Maakohtainen and its inflections occur frequently in discussions of legal, regulatory, or statistical variation across countries.
