säädökselliset

Säädökselliset is a Finnish linguistic and legal term used to describe words or expressions that derive from the noun säädös, meaning statute or regulation. The form typically employs the derivational suffix -llinen to indicate a regulatory character. In scholarly use, säädökselliset can function as a label for a class of terms that refer to regulations or regulatory provisions.

Etymology and morphology: The term combines säädös with the suffix -llinen, which in Finnish forms adjectives denoting a property or quality. The plural form säädökselliset can be used either as an adjective agreeing with plural nouns or as a substantive plural referring to a set of regulatory rules or provisions.

Usage: The term appears mainly in academic linguistic and legal writing. It may be used to discuss the way statutory concepts are expressed in language, or to categorize terms that describe regulatory instruments. Examples include phrases such as "säädökselliset säännökset" (regulatory provisions) or "säädökselliset määräykset" (regulatory orders). Overall, säddökselliset is relatively specialized and not common in everyday Finnish, but it serves a concise descriptive function in analyses of legal vocabulary and derivational patterns.
