tarjontana

Tarjontana is the essive form of tarjonta, a Finnish noun meaning supply or range of offerings. It is used to describe something presented as supply in a particular context, typically in market or economic discussion.

In economics, tarjontana refers to the supply side: what producers are willing and able to offer at a given price and time. It covers the quantity and variety of goods and services available, as well as the capacity and conditions that enable production, such as technology, inputs, and regulations. The concept is usually analyzed together with kysyntä (demand) to understand market equilibrium and price formation. Shifts in tarjontana occur when production costs change, new technologies emerge, or policy measures alter incentives; shifts in kysyntä occur when consumer preferences or incomes change. The two curves interact to determine the market price and quantity.

In Finnish usage, tarjontana is most commonly found in formal or analytical text, including economics reports, statistics, and journalism, and is less common in everyday conversation compared with tarjonta or tarjottu. Examples illustrate its practical use: "Tarjontana markkinoilla on laaja valikoima tuotteita." "Lyhyellä aikavälillä tarjontana voi reagoida nopeasti tuotantokapasiteetin kautta."

Related concepts include tarjonta (supply) and kysyntä (demand), as well as broader topics in markkinat and taloustiede.
