perusteli

Perusteli is a Finnish word that translates to "justified" or "substantiated" in English. It is derived from the verb "perustella," which means "to justify," "to substantiate," or "to give reasons for." The word "perusteli" is the past tense form of this verb, indicating that a justification or substantiation has been provided.

In various contexts, "perusteli" can refer to a decision, an action, or a statement that has been supported by valid arguments or evidence. For example, if someone made a claim and then provided evidence to back it up, it could be said that they "perusteli" their claim. Similarly, if a committee made a decision and explained the reasoning behind it, their decision would be considered "perusteli."

The concept of "perustelu" is important in legal, academic, and everyday communication. It emphasizes the need for logical reasoning and factual support when presenting ideas or making arguments. Without proper justification, statements or actions may be perceived as arbitrary or unfounded. The use of "perusteli" implies a process of thoughtful consideration and clear explanation, aiming to make a case understandable and acceptable to others. It is a fundamental aspect of constructive discourse and decision-making.
