yleiskäsittelevänä

yleiskäsittelevänä is a Finnish word that translates to "as a general concept" or "in a general sense" in English. It is used to indicate that something is being discussed or considered from a broad perspective, without focusing on specific details or individual instances. The adverbial form of the noun "yleiskäsite" (general concept), "yleiskäsittelevänä" modifies verbs or phrases to convey this generalized approach.

When something is described as "yleiskäsittelevänä," it implies that the statement or observation applies to a category or group rather than a single entity. For example, one might discuss a societal trend "yleiskäsittelevänä," meaning they are examining the overall pattern of behavior across the population, not the actions of any particular individual. Similarly, in academic or theoretical discussions, this term is often employed to differentiate between abstract principles and concrete examples. It helps to maintain a level of generality and avoid getting bogged down in minutiae. The word emphasizes the act of conceptualization at a high level, encompassing multiple elements under a single umbrella idea.
