taloudellisin

Taloudellisin is a Finnish adjective in its superlative form, derived from taloudellinen. It expresses the highest degree of economic or financial efficiency among a set of options. The form is built from the stem taloudell-, with the adjective suffix -inen creating taloudellinen, and the superlative suffix -in yielding taloudellisin. In usage, taloudellisin describes the option, plan, or measure that provides the greatest financial benefit, the lowest total cost, or the best balance between cost and outcome.

Meaning and usage context can vary with nuance. In many contexts it translates to “the most economical” or “the most cost-effective,” but the precise sense depends on what is being compared—cost alone, overall value, risk versus return, or long-term financial impact. It is common in business, budgeting, and policy discussions to identify the taloudellisin ratkaisu or taloudellisin vaihtoehto.

Examples: "Tämä ratkaisu on taloudellisin vaihtoehto." "He valitsivat taloudellisimman vaihtoehdon." In adverbial form, the related word would be taloudellisesti, meaning “economically” or “financially.”

Related terms include talous (economy, finances) and taloudellinen (economic, financial). The term is part of Finnish grammar’s adjective paradigm, where positive, comparative (taloudellisempi), and superlative (taloudellisin) forms reflect degrees of economic efficiency or cost-effectiveness in comparison.
