määritelmälliseen

Määritelmälliseen is a Finnish adjective form. It is the illative singular form of määritelmällinen, an adjective meaning definitional or relating to a definition. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify for number and case; for adjectives ending in -inen, the illative singular suffix is -iseen, producing määritelmälliseen.

The base form is määritelmällinen, and the noun from which it is derived is määritelmä ("definition"). The word is most often used in academic or technical discourse, for example in logic, linguistics, or philosophy, to indicate something that pertains to a definition or to the act of defining.

Examples of usage include phrases such as 'määritelmälliseen käsitteeseen viitataan' ('we refer to a definitional concept') or 'määritelmälliseen kontekstiin' ('into a definitional context'), where the adjective accompanies a noun in the illative case.

Etymology: formed from määritelmä + -llinen, with the illative suffix -iseen applied to the adjective when used with a noun in illative case.
