sovelluskohtaisissa

Sovelluskohtaisissa is a Finnish adjective form used to describe aspects, requirements, or characteristics that are specific to a particular software application or system. It is the inessive plural form of sovelluskohtainen, meaning application-specific, and appears in contexts where distinctions between general and application-specific properties matter.

Etymology and usage: The term is a compound of sovellus (application, software) and kohtainen (pertaining to, specific). It is common in technical, IT, and engineering language to differentiate features that apply universally from those that are tied to a specific application. The form sovelluskohtaisissa is used when referring to something inside or within the application-specific context and agrees with plural or collective nouns in the inessive case.

Typical contexts: You will encounter sovelluskohtaisissa in phrases such as sovelluskohtaiset vaatimukset (application-specific requirements), sovelluskohtaisissa testeissä (in application-specific tests), and sovelluskohtaisissa dokumentaatioissa (in application-specific documentation). It helps clarify that a rule, constraint, or feature is not universal but tailored to a given software solution.

Related terms and translation: Related forms include sovelluskohtaisuus (application-specificity) and sovelluksittain (by application). In English, the equivalent is usually "application-specific." When translating Finnish technical texts, using sovelluskohtainen in its appropriate case and number ensures accurate, context-sensitive expression.

Note: The term is predominantly found in Finnish IT, software engineering, and project documentation rather than everyday language.
