transaktiolinen

Transaktiolinen is a Finnish adjective used to describe phenomena, systems, or practices that are connected to transactions, particularly the properties, processes, or logics of exchanging goods, services, or information. The word combines the stem transaktio- (from transactio, via Finnish) with the suffix -linen to form an adjective meaning transactional or transaction-related.

In economics and business, transaktiolinen refers to systems or practices where value exchange, contractual relations, and market rules dominate interactions, as opposed to relational or communal modes. In information technology and data management, the term is used to describe design principles and operations that prioritize transactional integrity, including properties such as atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID) and reliable transaction processing. In social science, it may describe exchange practices grounded in formal or utilitarian calculations of benefit and cost, as opposed to long-term kinship or gift-based reciprocity.

The term is not part of a canonical Finnish lexicon for core disciplines and is found predominantly in academic or analytical discourse where transactional aspects are foregrounded. It may appear in compound forms such as transaktiolinen logiikka, transaktiolinen järjestelmä, or transaktiolinen vuorovaikutus to denote the transactional dimension of a phenomenon.
