taloudellinen

Taloudellinen is a Finnish adjective meaning related to economy or finances. It is formed from talous ("economy" or "household") with the derivational suffix -llinen, yielding "economic" or "financial." It is used to describe things pertaining to economic activity, fiscal matters, or the management of resources. In translations, taloudellinen commonly corresponds to English "economic" or "financial"; in some contexts it can be rendered as "cost-saving" or "economical," though edullinen is a more precise term for cheap or cost-effective.

In everyday and official Finnish, taloudellinen is used in phrases such as taloudellinen kasvu (economic growth), taloudellinen tilanne (economic situation), taloudellinen politiikka (economic policy), and taloudelliset vaikutukset (economic effects). The noun form taloudellisuus denotes the economic nature or degree of financial character of something; the adverbial form taloudellisesti describes actions performed in an economic/financial manner.

The word is common across journalism, economics, politics, and academia, and it functions as a standard descriptive term when discussing matters of the economy or finances. There is no separate proper noun or fixed international project named Taloudellinen; rather, it is a lexical item used to describe economic aspects in Finnish.
