maksullisen

Maksullisen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective maksullinen, meaning paid or chargeable. It is used to describe goods, services, or content that require payment. The term is common in consumer and business contexts, particularly in discussions of digital services, licensing, and retail. Maksullinen contrasts with maksuton, meaning free of charge.

Etymology and grammar: Maksullinen is formed from the noun maksu meaning "fee" plus the derivational suffix -llinen, which yields adjectives that denote a property or quality. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in case; maksullisen appears in the genitive singular, as in maksullisen palvelun "the paid service's" or "the paid service." The nominative form is maksullinen; plural forms include maksulliset.

Usage notes: In written Finnish, maksullinen or maksullisen is used in contexts like maksullisen sisällön katselu (viewing paid content) or maksullisen ohjelmiston käyttöönotto (deploying paid software). The term is commonly seen on websites with paywalls, subscription-based products, or licensing terms. Related terms include maksuttomasti (for free), maksuttomuus (the state or quality of being free), and maksullisuus (the property of being paid).
