selektiivse

selektiivse is a Finnish word that translates to "selective" in English. It is an adjective used to describe a tendency to choose or be characterized by selection. This can apply to a variety of contexts, such as selective breeding in animals, where individuals with desirable traits are chosen for reproduction. In a more abstract sense, it can refer to selective attention, where an individual focuses on certain stimuli while ignoring others. The concept of selektiivse can also be seen in decision-making processes, where choices are made based on specific criteria, leading to a selective outcome. It implies a deliberate or inherent process of differentiation and preference. The word itself is derived from the root "selektio," meaning selection. When used, it highlights the act or result of choosing or favoring something over other possibilities. For instance, a selektiivse filter would only allow certain things to pass through. Similarly, selektiivse memory refers to the ability to recall some information better than others. The core idea remains consistent: a process or characteristic of making choices and distinguishing between options.
