optimoimalla

Optimoimalla is a Finnish term formed as the instrumental gerund of the verb optimoida, meaning to optimize. The form optimoimalla literally translates to “by optimizing” or “through optimization” and is used to describe the method or approach by which an objective is pursued rather than the end result itself.

From a linguistic standpoint optimoimalla is a non-finite verb form. The stem optimo- comes from optimoida, and the suffix -malla denotes the instrumental gerund in Finnish. The word is common in Finnish professional discourse, especially in fields such as engineering, information technology, business management, and process improvement.

In practice optimoimalla is used to indicate that a particular outcome is achieved through optimization activities. Examples include sentences like: Optimoimalla tuotantoprosesseja saavutettiin suurempi tuottavuus. Optimoimalla digitaalisia kampanjoita voitiin pienentää kustannuksia. Prosessin nopeuttaminen tapahtuu optimoimalla koodia ja tiedonsiirtoa.

The term emphasizes the methodology or workflow rather than the final result, and it often appears in project plans, proposals, reports, and academic or technical writings. It is closely related to the base verb optimoida and its noun form optimointi. In Finnish usage, optimoimalla is preferred when the focus is on the act of optimization itself rather than on the optimization outcome.

See also: optimoida, optimointi, Lean, Six Sigma, process optimization. In general, optimoimalla is a standard, neutral way to refer to the act of optimizing within Finnish technical and professional language.
