teollista

Teollista is the partitive singular form of the Finnish adjective teollinen, meaning industrial or pertaining to industry. It is used when the noun it modifies is in the partitive case, or when the reference is indeterminate or non-countable. For example, teollista tuotantoa means industrial production, and teollista kehitystä means industrial development.

In everyday language, teollista appears in discussions of the economy, manufacturing, urban planning, and design. Common collocations include teollista tuotantoa (industrial production), teollista muotoilua (industrial design), teollista rakennetta (industrial structure), and teollisia prosesseja (industrial processes) when the nouns are in partitive forms.

Teollinen is the base adjective; teollistuminen (industrialization) and teollisuus (industry) are related terms. The form teollista is contrasted with teollinen (nominative singular) and with phrases like teollinen yhteiskunta (industrial society). The word is frequently used in academic, economic, policy, and media contexts to describe aspects related to industry or industrial activity.

Usage note: Finnish adjectives decline to reflect the case and number of the nouns they modify; teollista marks partitive. The term is neutral and common in discussions of industrial topics, ranging from manufacturing and infrastructure to design and policy.
