pitkäaikaisenkin

Pitkäaikainen is a Finnish word that translates to "long-term" or "long-lasting" in English. It is an adjective used to describe something that persists or endures for a considerable period of time. The word is formed by combining "pitkä" meaning "long" and "aikainen" meaning "early" or "of time." When used together, it conveys a sense of duration and sustained presence.

This term can be applied to a wide range of contexts. For instance, one might speak of "pitkäaikainen työttömyys" (long-term unemployment), "pitkäaikainen ystävyys" (long-term friendship), or "pitkäaikainen sairaus" (long-term illness). It can also refer to the duration of a contract, a relationship, or any situation that is not temporary. The emphasis is on the extended nature of the subject being described.

The concept of "pitkäaikainen" is important in various fields, including economics, sociology, and medicine, where understanding the long-term effects or trends is crucial for analysis and decision-making. It distinguishes from short-term or immediate occurrences, highlighting a sustained pattern or condition. The word's flexibility allows it to be a common and useful descriptor in everyday Finnish.
