tilakohtaiseen

Tilakohtaiseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish adjective tilakohtainen, which means “site-specific” or “location-related.” In Finnish, tilakohtainen is formed from tila meaning space or place, combined with the suffix -kohtainen meaning related to or pertaining to. The illative form tilakohtaiseen is used when the adjective governs a noun in the illative case to express direction toward or application to a particular site or context, as in tilakohtaiseen käyttöön or tilakohtaiseen kontekstiin.

In usage, tilakohtaiseen appears primarily in technical, architectural, or planning language where actions, rules, or instruments are tailored to a specific site. It signals that the subject matter is not general but tied to a particular location or environment. Common phrases include tilakohtaiseen käyttöön (for site-specific use), tilakohtaiseen kontekstiin (into a site-specific context), and tilakohtaisiin ohjeisiin (to site-specific instructions). The form is flexible within Finnish grammar, adapting to different nouns and cases (for example tilakohtaisiin, tilakohtaisista).

Origin and scope: tilakohtainen compounds tila (space/place) with kohtainen and forms various site-related expressions in Finnish. The illative tilakohtaiseen is one piece of a broader suite of case forms that allow precise specification of location, context, or application in written Finnish. While not a common everyday term, tilakohtaiseen appears in formal writing, policy documents, and technical manuals that require site-specific precision.
